vided for  in  a  Resolve  passed  by  the  Legislature,  and  approved

INTRODUCTION. 


One  unfamiliar  with  the  duties  of  the  Statistician  cannot  have 
an  adequate  conception  of  the  perplexing  and  exhaustive  labors 
to  which  he  is  subjected  in  the  performance  of  his  peculiar  work. 

We  may  be  pardoned,  therefore,  for  a  brief  allusion  to  the 
onerous  labors  attending  the  collating,  arranging  and  summing 
up  of  the  statistical  information  which  has  been  acquired  during 
the  short  existence  of  this  department. 

Realizing  the  formidable  work  to  be  performed  on  assuming  the 
duties  of  the  position  which  we  reluctantly  consented  to  accept 
when  pressed  upon  us,  a  plan  was  adopted,  which,  in  our  judg- 
ment, was  best  calculated  for  carrying  out  the  purposes  of  the 
Resolve  passed  by  the  Legislature,  in  relation  to  Industrial  Statis- 
tics (approved  February  24,  1873),  and  which  resolve  was  so  broad 
in  scope  as  to  embrace  our  manufacturing,  mining,  commercial, 
agricultural,  and  other  industrial  interests,  together  with  the  valu- 
ation and  appropriations  for  various  purposes,  of  the  several  towns 
and  cities  of  the  State. 

The  Resolve  as  passed  by  the  Legislature,  provided  for  no 
clerical  assistance,  nor  made  provision  for  any  compensation  to 
those  who  might  render  valuable  aid.  As  the  result,  we  have 
bean  obliged,  single  handed,  to  accomplish  what  is  herewith  pre- 
sented in  so  imperfect  a  manner. 

In  less  than  two  weeks  from  the  time  the  Resolve  was  passed, 
this  department  was  placed  in  complete  working  order.  From 
that  time  to  the  close  of  the  year,  nearly  fifteen  hours  a  day,  on 
an  average,  was  devoted  by  the  undersigned  in  the  performance 
of  his  labors.  In  the  preliminary  work  nearly  14,000  circulars, 
schedules  and  written  letters  were  transmitted  through  the  mails. 

The  difficulties  to  be  confronted  in  the  work  of  gathering  statis- 
tical information  were  early  foreseen,  and  such  means  were 
adopted,  after '  careful  consideration,  to  procure  as  full  and  as 
reliable  information  as  could  be  obtained.  The  Resolve  made  it 
the  duty  of  assessors  of  the  several  cities  and  towns  to  furnish  thp 


vi  INTRODUCTION.  [1873. 

statistics  called  for,  as  completely  and  promptly  as  practicable. 
We  were  not  prepared,  therefore,  to  find  assessors  so  unmindful 
in  responding  to  our  inquiries.  Important  as  it  is  to  have  the 
cooperation  of  assessors,  and  important  as  it  is  that  they  should 
have  promptly  and  cheerfully  furnished  this  department  with  com- 
plete returns  of  particulars  called  for  respecting  all  manufacturing 
and  industrial  establishments  in  their  respective  cities  and  towns, 
we  are  under  the  necessity  of  stating  that  not  one  return  has  been 
received  from  the  assessors  of  cities,  and  in  but  three  or  four 
instances  have  the  assessors  of  large  towns  made  returns.  Such 
returns  as  have  been  received  from  assessors  have  come  prin- 
cipally from  small  towns  and  plantations.  The  total  number  of 
returns  from  assessors  is  seventy,  representing  three  hundred  and 
forty-four  different  manufacturing  firms.  In  nearly  half  of  this 
number,  the  returns  made  were  so  meagre,  or  full  of  omissions,  as 
to  be  of  no  value. 

The  returns  of  towns  by  assessors  are  as  follows  :

In  filling  up  and  making  returns  of  the  schedules  of  agriculture 
and  the  valuation  of  cities  and  towns,  the  assessors  also,  as  will 
be  seen  by  the  tables,  failed  in  the  majority  of  instances  to  heed 
the  request  made  of  them,  or  to  comply  with  the  provisions  of  the 
Resolve. 


1873.]  INTRODUCTION.  vii 

Anticipating  at  the  outset  that  we  should  have  to  depend  upon 
sources  other  than  assessors  for  the  statistical  information  required 
respecting  our  manufacturing  industries,  we  prepared  a  list  of 
every  individual  and  firm  engaged  in  mechanical  and  manufac- 
turing industry  in  this  State,  and  then  communicated  with  each 
by  means  of  circulars,  schedules  and  correspondence.  This  list 
was  prepared  from  the  four  folio  volumes  of  returns  of  assistant 
marshals  in  their  enumeration  of  the  products  of  industry  in  Maine 
for  the  United  States  Census  Report  of  1870,  and  from  three  differ- 
ent business  directories  of  the  State.  When  completed,  the  list 
numbered  nearly  seven  thousand  names.  As  the  result  of  this 
labor,  together  with  such  information  as  could  be  derived  from  the 
most  authentic  sources. that  could  be  reached,  we  received  returns 
from  over  three  hundred  cities,  towns  and  plantations,  represent- 
ing 1,823  establishments,  which,  added  to  the  establishments 
furnished  in  assessors'  returns,  make  the  the  total  number  of 
establishments  received  2,167.  Of  this  number,  563  establish- 
ments made  no  return  of  particulars  in  the  schedules,  428  estab- 
lishments made  complete  returns,  and  1,176  made  partial  returns. 
To  the  total  number  of  returns  received  are  to  be  added  757  saw 
mills,  which  have  been  supplemented  in  our  estimate  of  the  total 
number  of  saw  mills  in  the  State, making,  therefore,  the  total  num- 
ber of  returns  from  establishments  2,924,  or  excluding  the  563 
establishments  which  omitted  all  particulars  in  their  returns,  and 
we  have  complete  and  partial  returns  from  2,361  establishments. 
Some  of  these  returns,  it  may  be  remarked,  were  received  too  late 
to  appear  in  the  text  of  the  report,  but  have  been  used  in  the 
several  tables. 

In  the  work  of  analyzing  and  tabulating  returns  a  method  has 
been  adopted  which,  we  think,  will  commend  itself.  We  will  state 
however,  that  the  tables  as  well  as  the  transcript  of  returns,  that 
make  up  the  text  of  the  report,  do  not  accurately  represent  whafr 
on  the  face  they  appear  to  represent,  and  no  one  must  be  misled 
by  what  appears  as  actual  results,  except  only  in  a  few  instances, 
so  far  as  the  text  is  concerned,  where  the  names  of  persons  in  cer- 
tain towns  are  given,  who  embrace  all  who  carry  on  manufacturing 
operations  in  those  towns.  The  great  majority  of  returns  being 
so  deficient  and  imperfect,  it  has  been  utterly  impossible  to  make 
satisfactory  tabular  statements  by  supplying  omissions.  To  illus- 
trate with  more  clearness  perhaps,  what  we  mean,  take  the  table, 
Agricultural  Implements,  for  example.  Now,  probably,  the  total 


Till 


INTRODUCTION.  [1873. 


number  of  establishments  in  the  State  for  the  manufacture  of 
agricultural  implements,  will  exceed  thirty,  with  a  total  value  in 
their  products  of  $300,000,  if  not  more.  In  the  table  will  be  found 
a  footing  of  twenty  establishments,  with  a  total  value  in  their 
products  of  $73,715.  Now,  while  three  of  the  twenty  establish- 
ments have  made  no  returns,  when  we  come  to  analyze  the  returns, 
it  will  be  found  that  only  five  have  made  complete  returns,  while 
the  whole  of  the  total  production  is  that  of  eight  establishments, 
twelve  establishments  making  partial  returns,  by  which  is  meant, 
they  have  either  omitted  capital  invested,  or  value  of  stock  used, 
or  value  of  production,  or  number  of  hands  employed,  or  amount 
of  wages  paid,  or,  have  omitted  all  but  one  of  these  items,  so  that 
when  we  come  to  the  footings  they  do  not  exhibit  what  would 
appear  from  a  hasty  or  cursory  examination.  In  the  special  tables, 
however,  we  have  attempted  to  supply  all  omissions  in  the  number 
of  returns  received,  with  the  exception  of  table,  Lumber,  Long 
and  Short,  and  therein  we  have  not  only  supplied  all  omissions, 
but  have  undertaken  to  give  the  total  number  of  saw  mills  in  the 
State,  with  the  total  capital  invested,  value  of  stock  and  product, 
etc.  In  table  III,  which  embraces  the  total  footings  of  all  indus- 
tries which  have  been  received,  we  have  also  supplied  additional 
omissions  in  the  labor  of  revision,  excluding  therefrom  all  estab- 
lishments making  no  returns,  and  correcting  such  errors  *  in  the 
text  which  occurred  in  proof  reading,  and  which  also  occurred,  we 
may  add,  by  defective  returns,  which,  in  the  haste  of  transcribing, 
were  not  detected.  In  this  table  especially,  we  have  endeavored 
to  avoid  as  much  as  possible  duplications  of  industries.  In  this 
table  also,  the  apparent  discrepancy  in  total  footings  of  hands  is 
owing  to  establishments  reporting  total  number  of  hands,  instead 
of  separating  the  number  of  males,  females  and  children. 

In  enumerating  and  classifying  industries  the  work  has  been 
performed  under  great  disadvantages.  This  is  on  account  of  so 
many  establishments  carrying  on  a  diversified  or  complex  business. 
There  are  numerous  cases  of  a  grist  mill  and  saw  mill  being  car- 
ried on  under  one  ownership  or  management,  employing  the  same 
capital,  using  the  same  motive  power,  and  employing  the  same 
number  of  hands,  without  making  any  separation  in  the  return  of 
capital,  power,  value  of  product,  hands,  &c.  In  more  than  one 

*0n  page  105,  Shoe  Pegs,  at  the  bottom  of  the  page,  should  come  under  WINSLOW, 
the  name  of  which  town  has  been  omitted. 


1873.]  INTRODUCTION.  jx 

instance,  we  have  the  return  of  an  establishment  engaged  in  sev- 
eral kinds  of  industries  under  one  roof,  each  independent  of  the 
other,  and  yet  all  grouped  as  one  kind  of  business. 

Now  all  these  different  kinds  of  business  carried  on  by  the  same 
establishment,  notwithstanding  they  are  carried  on  under  one  roof, 
embrace  so  many  distinct  and  independent  industries,  and  there 
are  objections  to  be  raised,  when  parties  make  no  separation  or 
discrimination  of  their  industries.  One  objection  is,  and  perhaps 
it  is  as  important  a  one  as  can  be  made,  to  show  what  we  mean, 
that  the  return  made  does  not  exhibit  the  actual  number  of 
industries.  Moreover  in  grouping  two  or  more  industries  together 
makes  it  exceedingly  difficult  if  not  impossible,  to  eliminate  and 
enumerate  specifically  the  industries  carried  on.  The  case  of 
saw  mills  and  grist  mills  is  perhaps  an  exception,  while  the  case 
of  leather  tanned  and  leather  curried,  presents  such  obstacles  that 
we  are  obliged  to  group  them  together  as  one  industry,  when  they 
are  two,  each  independent  of  the  other. 

In  the  compilation  of  these  statistics  the  term  manufacturer  has 
been  applied  to  every  person  who  turns  out  a  product,  including 
the  village  shoemaker,  who  makes  shoes  for  his  local  customers, 
with  the  cotton  mill  that  turns  out  its  textile  fabrics  for  a  market 
not  bounded  by  geographical  limits.  The  returns,  therefore,  em- 
brace the  productions  of  every  individual,  firm  and  corporation, 
which  we  have  been  able  to  procure,  without  regard  to  the  value 
of  the  production.  Many  of  these  returns  are  excluded  in  the 
United  States  Census  Report  by  the  law,  which  restricts  the  value 
of  productions,  to  not  less  than  $500  a  year,  a  limit  we  have  not 
seen  fit  to  adopt,  for  the  reason  that  in  our  humble  opinion  the 
small  manufacturing  industries  are  the  rivulets  which  go  to  make 
up  the  great  stream  of  manufacturing  industry,  and  when  we 
come  to  look  upon  the  aggregate  value  of  their  productions,  trivial 
as  each  value  may  appear  when  viewed  separately,  we  find  the 
gross  amount  a  very  handsome  sum.  These  small  establishments 
are  quite  numerous,  and  in  many  localities  are  what  make  the 
business  of  the  place. 

In  returning  the  amount  of  capital  invested  numbers  of  estab- 
lishments have  either  omitted  entirely  the  amount  invested,  or 
given  erroneous  returns,  either  through  negligence,  or  perhaps 
what  is  more  probable,  from  a  fear  of  taxation,  their  purpose  being 
to  conceal  a  portion  of  the  capital  employed.  The  former  fact  is 
shown  by  the  contradictory  statements  when  the  return  of  asses- 


x  INTRODUCTION.  [1873. 

sors  is  compared  with  the  return  of  the  manufacturer  himself, — 
in  some  instances  the  manufacturer  returning  nearly  double  the 
amount  of  capital  than  what  the  assessors  returned.  The  returns 
from  large  manufacturing  corporations  in  this  respect  are  more 
satisfactory  than  those  from  small  manufacturers.  It  is  safe  to 
conclude,  however,  that  in  the  great  majority  of  instances  under- 
estimates have  been  made,  and  we  apprehend  that  it  is  more  than 
probable,  that  the  aggregate  amount  of  capital  invested  in  Maine 
to  approach  accuracy,  should  be  at  least  from  fifteen  to  twenty- 
five  per  cent,  more  than  is  reported.  We  are  aware  that  what 
constitutes  the  capital  stock  in  one's  business  is  not  definitely 
understood  and  that  opinions  differ,  which  may  account  somewhat 
for  omissions  or  misstatements.  A  prominent  statist  *  in  a  work 
on  the  principles  of  statistical  inquiry  says,  in  referring  to  invested 
capital,  "generally  it  would  embrace  all  the  money  laid  out  in 
land,  buildings,  machinery,  and  other  similar  expenses. " 

In  the  performance  of  our  task,  we  were  inhibited  by  the  Resolve 
from  going  to  any  expense  in  procuring  statistics.  Had  the  Legis- 
lature provided  means  to  be  judiciously  expended,  we  are  con- 
strained to  say  that,  in  our  judgment,  we  should  have  secured  far 
better  results.  We  have  tried,  however,  to  give  the  State  our 
best  efforts,  and  we  trust  that  the  result  of  our  labors  is  the  begin- 
ning of  a  work  that  will  finally  result  in  a  compendium  of  a  truly 
valuable  character,  and  on  a  more  satisfactory  basis  than  the 
present  one.  To  those  seeking  investments  in  new  manufacturing 
operations  ;  to  those  who  desire  to  witness  the  development  of 
our  immense  water  power,  and  to  those  who  believe  in  the  march 
of  internal  improvement,  and  who,  while  they  would  have  present 
lines  of  transportation  by  land  and  water  benefitted,  would  also 
like  to  see  new  facilities  for  transportation  opened,  the  value  of 
such  statistics  as  are  submitted  cannot  be  overestimated.  To  the 
political  economist,  and  to  those  towns  and  individuals  engaged 
in  inviting  capital  to  Maine  from  abroad  to  embark  in  new  or 
existing  operations,  an  annual  compendium  like  this  is  of  a  valu- 
able character.  It  is,  in  fact,  a  handbook  of  Maine's  industries — 
a  record  of  the  progress  of  her  internal  economy.

Manufacturing  and  Mechanical  Industry. 


Notwithstanding  there  was  a  loss  of  population  in  the  last  decade 
in  Maine,  there  was  a  steady  increase  in  the  products  of  our  man- 
ufacturing industry  and  wealth,  and  this,  too,  while  the  resources 
of  the  State  were  taxed  on  account  of  the  war  of  the  rebellion. 
The  growth  of  manufactures  from  1860  to  1870  was  108  percent., 
making  no  allowance  of  discount  to  bring  currency  values  to  the 
gold  standard.  The  growth  since  1870,  according  to  our  estimate, 
has  been  21  per  cent. 

It  is  evident  that  Maine  has  entered  upon  a  new  era  of  pros- 
perity and  growth  since  1870.  Wonderful  progress  has  been 
made  under  a  State  policy  which  is  so  favorable  for  the  establish- 
ment of  manufacturing  enterprises.  New  enterprises  have  been 
brought  into  existence,  the  volume  of  capital  has  been  increased, 
together  with  the  value  of  products  of  artizan  skill,  our  water 
power  has  been  more  appreciated  than  ever,  while  our  population 
has  been  increased,  and  our  people  have  bpen  favored  with  gen- 
erous harvests,  as  a  general  thing. 

There  is  a  mine  of  wealth  in  the  varied  resources  of  our  State, 
which  only  requires  the  hand  of  capital  to  develop  and  improve. 
Our  natural  advantages  are  not  to  be  excelled  by  those  in  any 
other  State.  The  advantages  which  Maine  has  on  account  of  her 
superior  water  power,  and  her  accessibility  by  rail  and  water  com- 
munication to  the  principal  markets  of  the  country,  give  her  a 
superiority  over  many  of  her  sister  States,  which  have  no  water 
power,  or  which  possess  such  power  in  a  limited  degree. 

Our  State  ranks  among  the  first  in  those  States  that  manufacture 
cotton  goods. 

Within  the  past  year  shipbuilding  has  completly  revived  from 
the  prostration  occasioned  by  the  rebellion,  and  that  industry  has 
entered  upon  such  an  era  of  prosperity  that  Maine,  which  hereto- 
fore has  built  one-third  of  the  tonnage  of  the  country,  now  bids 
fair  to  make  a  larger  contribution  than  ever. 


xii  STATISTICS  OP  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  [1873. 

The  business  of  stone  quarrying  has  assumed  a  magnitude  which 
a  few  years  ago,  would  hardly  have  been  conceived.  With  such 
a  small  cost  in  raw  material  the  production  adds  largely  to  our 
wealth. 

Our  railroad  facilities  have  been  increased,  and  new  lines  are 
projected.  The  progress  in  building  railroads  keeps  pace  with 
the  growth  of  manufactures. 

The  doings  of  our  principal  industries  are  appropriately  referred 
to  below.  The  statistics  given  in  the  returns  are  not  absolutely 
correct,  but  are  only  approximate  results. 

The  monetary  stringency  in  the  fall  had  but  little  effect  on  our 
manufacturing  interests  in  Maine,  and  if  it  did,  the  effect  was  only 
temporary.  In  a  few  instances  there  were  slight  reductions  in 
the  hours  of  labor,  and  there  was  a  diminished  pay-roll,  but  there 
were  fewer  instances  of  lessening  the  working  force,  nor  were 
operations  curtailed  to  our  knowledge.  The  dullness  in  the  lum- 
ber business  which  took  place  was  not  owing  to  the  financial 
pressure,  but  on  account  of  over  production  and  a  lethargic 
market. 

It  is  a  well  established  fact  that  manufactures  increase  popula- 
tion more  than  any  other  agency.  This  is  demonstrated  in 
England,  and  is  repeated  in  this  country.  Lewiston  and  Auburn, 
in  this  State,  furnish  striking  proofs  of  what  manufactures  will 
accomplish.  What  is  needed  in  Maine  is  more  manufactures  and 
additional  facilities  for  the  transportation  of  freight.  We  need, 
also,  to  have  a  more  diversified  industry.  We  need  more  smaller 
industries,  in  which  people  of  limited  means  can  invest.  Scores 
of  such  industries  are  far  more  remunerative  in  proportion  to  the 
capital  invested  than  larger  ones.  Every  village,  especially 
if  it  has  a  water  power,  should  have  some  kind  of  an  industry. 
There  are  scores  of  interior  towns,  which,  by  establishing  manu- 
facturing enterprises,  would  have  the  markets  of  the  country 
placed  at  their  doors  by  means  of  railroad  communication.  Liberal 
encouragement  should  be  given  for  the  investment  of  capital  at 
home  and  from  abroad.  With  an  increase  of  capital  in  manufac- 
tures, our  agricultural  resources  will  be  more  fully  developed,  and 
it  will  need  no  prophetic  eye  to  foresee  what  the  future  prosperity 
of  Maine  will  be  in  growth  and  wealth.

BOOTS  AND  SHOES. 

The  boot  and  shoe  business  has  become  one  of  the  principal 
industries  in  Maine,  and  the  business  is  still  increasing  by  the 
erection  of  new  factories.  In  1860,  the  total  invested  capital  in 
the  manufacture  of  boots  and  shoes  was  $509,124;  value  of  pro- 
duction, $1,910,000  ;  hands  employed,  males,  2,065  ;  females,  836, 
total  number  2,901 ;  wages,  $661,818.  In  1870  the  total  invested 
capital  was  $677,300 ;  total  number  of  pairs  of  boots  and  shoes 
manufactured,  2,089,159 ;  value  of  production,  $3,144,747  ;  num- 
ber of  hands  employed,  males,  1,544  ;  females,  539  ;  children,  22  ; 
total,  2,105  ;  wages,  $771,066.  The  returns  for  this  year  to  this 
department,  which  returns  do  not  cover  the  whole  State,  show  an 
Invested  capital  of  the  112  establishments  returned,  of  $1,863,964; 
number  of  pairs  of  boots  and  shoes  manufactured  5,644,244,  or 
nine  pairs  for  every  inhabitant  in  the  State  ;  value  of  production, 
$8,820,986  ;  hands  employed,  males,  4,726,  females,  629,  children, 
39  ;  total  number,  5,394 ;  wages,  $2,295,330.  It  will  be  seen  that 
in  the  value  of  production  there  has  been  an  increase  of  more 
than  three  hundred  and  sixty-one  per  cent.,  over  that  of  1860,  and 
one  hundred  and  eighty  per  cent.,  over  that  of  1870.  The  city 
of  Auburn,  which  was  the  pioneer  in  the  manufacture  of  shoes  in 
Maine,  has  a  total  capital  of  $1,000,000  in  the  business;  number 
of  pairs  of  boots  and  shoes  manufactured  by  her  eighteen  factories, 
2,750,000  ;  value  of  the  same,  $4,000,000,  or,  more  than  one  hun- 
dred per  cent,  over  the  value  of  the  entire  production  of  the  State 
in  1860;  number  of  males  employed  1,TOO,  females  400,  children 
20;  total  number  2,120,  or  five  more  hands  than  were  employed 
in  the  entire  State  in  1870;  wages  $1,000,000,  or  more  than  half 
of  the  value  of  the  product  of  the  entire  State  in  1860,  and  more 
than  twenty-nine  per  cent,  of  the  total  wages  paid  in  the  State  in 
1870.  One  factory  in  Auburn  has  manufactured  750,000  pairs  of 
shoes,  valued  at  $800,000,  and  given  employment  to  450  hands, 
with  a  pay-roll  of  $225,000.  This  factory  is  probably  the  largest 
in  New  England.  Its  capacity  is  being  increased  so  that  with 
next  year  the  working  force  will  number  nearly  600  hands.  The 
Auburn  product  finds  a  market  in  nearly  every  State  in  the  Union, 
the  supply  passing  into  the  hands  of  the  wholesale  trade.  While 
Auburn  enjoys  a  monopoly  of  the  boot  and  shoe  product  in  Maine, 
having  of  invested  capital  more  than  half  of  the  entire  capital  in 
the  State  in  the  business,  and  manufacturing  nearly  half  of  the 


xiv  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  [1873. 

entire  product,  the  city  of  Portland  ranks  second,  and  the  city  of 
Bangor  third  in  the  list.  In  Bangor  a  specialty  is  made  of  moc- 
casins. During  the  year  the  boot  and  shoe  business  has  been 
excellent,  and  the  prospects  for  a  larger  demand  than  ever,  next 
year,  by  leading  manufacturers  are  cheering. 

BRICK. 

The  clays  to  be  found  furnish  material  for  an  immense  number 
of  brick,  the  yards  for  the  manufacture  of  which  are  no't  confined 
to  the  enormous  supplies  along  the  coast,  but  find  an  abundance 
of  material  in  our  river  valleys,  including  an  ample  supply  of 
wood.  This  industry  has  become  an  important,  as  well  as  a  suc- 
cessful one.  In  1870,  Maine  stood  as  the  seventeenth  State  in 
the  manufacture  of  brick,  the  value  of  that  production  from  110 
yards  being  $405,893.  For  the  present  year  this  department  has 
returns  from  93  brick  yards,  with  a  total  capital  of  $317,185,  giv- 
ing employment  to  917  hands,  and  manufacturing  71,549,000 
brick,  with  a  k  total  value  of  $520,574.  The  largest  number  of 
brick  made,  as  well  as  the  largest  number  of  yards,  are  in  Penob- 
scot  county,  principally  in  the  town  of  Brewer,  one  company  alone 
turning  out  over  5,000,000  brick,  valued  at  $50,000.  This  com- 
pany has  a  capital  of  $32,000,'  uses  steam  power,  70  horse, 
employs  56  males,  and  can  manufacture  with  the  machine  in  use 
100  brick  a  minute.  In  one  burning  nearly  2,500  cords  of  wood 
are  consumed.  The  past  season  has  been  a  favorable  one  for  the 
prosecution  of  the  business.  The  market  for  Maine  brick  is  in 
the  State,  Massachusetts  and  the  Southern  ports.  They  can  be 
produced  in  Maine  cheaper  than  in  Massachusetts,  if  we  are  cor- 
rectly informed. 

CANNED  PRODUCTS. 

From  a  small  beginning,  the  packing  business  in  Maine  has 
assumed  enormous  proportions.  It  is  universally  conceded  that 
the  best  canned  corn  comes  from  Maine,  and  that  the  largest  lob- 
ster factories  are  located  in  this  State.  Complete  returns  have 
been  received,  so  that  we  find  the  total  number  of  canning 
factories  in  Maine  to  be  33,  with  an  invested  capital  of  $825,000, 
giving  employment  the  present  year  to  4,087  hands,  of  which 
number  2,027  were  males,  1,760  females,  and  300  children;  total 
amount  of  pay-roll,  $262,500;  total  value  of  production,  $1,842,- 
000.  The  total  amount  of  canned  products  is  as  follows  :  Sweet 


1873  ]  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  xv 

corn,  475,000  dozen  cans  ;  succatash>  7,500  dozen  cans  ;  lobsters, 
231,600  dozen  cans;  salmon,  20,000  dozen  cans;  clams,  1,600 
dozen  cans  ;  total  production,  735,700  dozen  cans.  The  business 
is  virtually  carried  on  by  three  Portland  packing  companies,  which 
also  during  the  winter  season  put  up  a  large  amount  of  meats,  &c. 
Two  of  these  firms  also  have  factories  in  Nova  Scotia,  the  products 
of  which  are  not  included  in  the  foregoing  exhibit.  The  packing 
factories  on  the  coast  extend  from  Yarmouth  to  Cape  Sable,  and 
their  products  go  to  all  parts  of  the  world.  The  packing  of  lob- 
sters has  become  so  enormous  that,  with  the  present  rate  of  can- 
ning, serious  apprehensions  are  felt  that  the  supply  will  not  last 
many  years  longer.  A  few  years  ago  it  was  not  uncommon  to  catch 
lobsters  weighing  from  ten  to  twenty  pounds  each  ;  now  the 
average  weight  is  from  three  to  six  pounds,  and  growing  less, 
thousands  which  are  caught  weighing  but  little  rising  a  pound 
each.  The  catch  of  lobsters  is  mainly  eastward  of  Harpswell. 
Quite  a  fleet  of  small  vessels  are  employed  in  this  important  branch 
of  commercial  industry.  The  corn  packing  season  in  the  interior 
lasts  through  corn  time,  and  is  a  source  of  considerable  revenue, 
not  only  to  the  farmers,  but  to  the  large  number  of  men,  women 
and  children  employed  in  the  business. 

COTTON  GOODS. 

The  United  States  census  report  of  1870  gives  the  number  of 
factories  in  Maine  for  the  manufacture  of  cotton  goods,  not  speci- 
fied, as  20  ;  total  capital,  $9,789,685 ;  steam  power,  320  horse ;  water 
power,  7,908  horse ;  hands  employed,  males  2,584,  females  6,223, 
children  572;  total  number,  9,379;  wages,  $2,559,597;  value  of 
materials,  including  supplies,  $6,671,280;  value  of  production, 
$11,739,781.  Number  of  mills  for  the  manufacture  of  batting, 
wadding,  thread,  twine  and  yarn,  three ;  total  capital,  $50,000 ; 
water  power,  110  horse  ;  hands  employed,  males  22,  females  23, 
children  15  ;  total  number,  60  ;  wages,  $14,600  ;  value  of  material, 
including  supplies,  $75,500  ;  value  of  production,  $104,400.  The 
total  number  of  cotton  manufacturing  establishments  returned  in 
1870,  according  to  the  United  States  census  report,  present  the  fol- 
lowing results:  Total  number  of  establishments,  23;  capital,  $9,839,- 
685  ;  steam  power,  320  horse  ;  water  power,  8,018  horse;  number  of 
spindles,  459,772;  hands  employed,  males  2,606,  females  6,246, 
children  587  ;  total  number,  9,439 ;  wages,  $2,565,197  ;  value  of

materials,  including  supplies,  $6,146,780 ;  value  of  production, 
$11,844,181. 

The  returns  received  by  this  department  do  not  show  as  many 
factories  for  the  manufacture  of  cotton  goods,  not  specified,  as  the 
census  report,  and  more  establishments  for  the  manufacture  of 
batting,  twine,  warp,  &c.  Now,  as  there  has  been  no  decrease  in 
the  number  of  cotton  manufacturing  establishments  since  1870, 
but  on  the  contrary  an  increase  in  the  number  of  spindles,  there  is 
a  discrepancy  between  our  returns,  so  far  as  the  number  of  fac- 
tories is  concerned,  and  those  of  the  census.  Our  returns  which 
we  present  as  complete  (in  three  or  four  instances  we  have  been 
obliged  to  supply  full  particulars  in  making  estimates),  are  as 
follows :  Total  number  of  factories  for  the  manufacture  of  cotton 
goods,  not  specified,  16;  capital,  $12,252,000  ;  steam  power,  390 
horse;  water  power,  9,045  horse;  number  of  spindles,  547,638; 
value  of  materials,  exclusive  of  mill  supplies,  $6,341,700  ;  num- 
ber of  yards  of  sheetings,  shirtings,  denims,  tickings,  print  cloths, 
twilled  goods,  &c.,  manufactured,  68,212,000  ;  number  of  cotton 
bags,  1,210,000 ;  pounds  of  quilts,  sheetings,  shirtings,  denims, 
bags  and  other  cotton  goods  not  included  in  estimate  by  yards, 
5,648,423;  pounds  of  batting,  159,336  ;  pounds  of  jute  bags  and 
twine,  604,015  ;  total  value  of  all  productions,  $12,151,750 ;  hands 
employed,  males  2,732,  females  7,222,  children  695 ;  total  number, 
10,649;  wages,  $3,381,625. 

Total  number  of  establishments  for  the  manufacture  of  batting, 
twine,  warp  and  yarn,  five;  capital,  $130,000;  water  power,  205 
horse  ;  machines  employed,  which  the  returns  do  not  state  whether 
looms  or  spindles,  245  ;  number  of  spindles,  4,700  ;  pounds  of 
batting,  2,400  ;  pounds  of  warp,  207,000  ;  pounds  of  warp,  twine 
and  bags,  551,000  ;  pounds  of  yarn,  144,000  ;  value  of  materials, 
$170,045  ;  value  of  production,  $275,920  ;  hands  employed,  males 
37,  females  82,  children  26  ;  total  number,  145 ;  wages,  $45,200. 

The  aggregate  of  cotton  manufacturing  establishments  is  there- 
fore, 21;  total  capital,  $12,382,000;  steam  power,  390  horse; 
water  power,  9,250  horse  ;  number  of  spindles  independent  of 
those  not  specified  in  returns,  552,338  ;  value  of  raw  material, 
$6,511,745;  value  of  production,  $12,427,670;  hands  employed, 
males  2,769,  females  7,304,  children  721;  total  number,  10,794; 
wages,  $3,426,825. 

The'centre  of  cotton  manufactured  goods  is  in  Lewiston,  where 
six  mills  represent  a  total  capital  of  $5,900,000;  number  of

epindles,  246,944 ;  value  of  raw  material,  $2,933,600  ;  value  of 
product,  $5,502,000  ;  operatives  employed,  5,357  ;  wages,  $1,615,- 
425.  The  average  value  of  production  per  spindle  is  $22.28. 

In  Biddeford  and  Saco  three  mills  represent  a  total  capital  of 
$3,200,000;  number  of  ppindles,  170,000;  value  of  raw  material, 
$2,140,000  ;  value  of  product,  $4,235,000  ;  operatives  employed, 
3,200  ;  wages,  $1,150,000.  The  average  value  of  production  per 
spindle  is  $24.91. 

The  increase  of  capital  employed  in  the  manufacture  of  all  kinds 
of  cotton  goods  since  1870  is  $2,542,315,  an  increase  of  more  than 
25  per  cent.  Increase  in  number  of  spindles,  independent  of  those 
not  specified,  92,566.  Increase  in  value  of  product,  $583,489,  an 
increase  of  more  than  five  per  cent.  The  average  value  of  pro- 
duction per  spindle  is  $22.50,  against  $25.76  per  spindle  in  1870. 
The  total  value  of  all  cotton  goods  manufactured  is  equivalent  to 
$19.82  for  each  inhabitant  in  the  State,  on  the  basis  of  the  popula- 
tion of  1870.  The  increase  in  the  number  of  operatives  employed 
since  1870  is  1,355,  an  increase  of  12  per  cent.  Average  annual 
wages  per  factory  hand  is  $317.47,  against  $271.75  per  hand  in 
1870,  an  increase  of  $45.72  per  hand,  or  more  than  16  per  cent, 
per  hand.  The  product  per  hand  amounts  in  value  to  $1,151.34  ; 
in  1870  it  amounted  to  $1,254.81  per  hand. 

The  cotton  mills  of  Maine  give  employment  to  a  large  number 
of  hands,  and  their  products  constitute  an  important  contribution 
to  the  markets  of  the  country.  It  is  a  profitable  industry,  is  well 
managed,  and  the  number  of  spindles  is  annually  increasing. 
Already  we  have  five  new  manufacturing  companies  proposing  to 
erect  mills,  and  one  company  which  went  into  operation  late  in 
the  fall,  not  included  in  table  II,  or  in  the  foregoing  estimates. 
These  companies  are  as  follows  :

EDGE  TOOLS,  AXES,  SAWS,  &c. 

Returns  from  twenty  establishments,  large  and  small,  give  a 
total  value  in  their  products  of  $638,800.  In  axes  and  adzes  there 
were  manufactured  674,965  in  number.  The  larger  portion  of  the 
product  is  manufactured  in  Kennebec  county,  where  three  fac- 
tories in  West  Waterville  have  turned  out  in  value  $300,400  worth 
of  axes,  which  have  found  a  market  in  the  United  States  and  the 
British  Provinces. 

FERTILIZERS. 

We  have  no  returns  of  industries  devoted  to  the  manufacture 
of  such  natural  fertilizers  as  marl,  peat  and  marine  manures,  large 
deposits  of  which  are  numerous,  with  the  exception  of  one  return 
of  an  establishment  in  Lincoln  county  that  manufactures  500  tons 
of  seaweed,  valued  at  $15,000.  The  remaining  seven  establish- 
ments making  returns  manufacture  fertilizers  from  refuse  fish,  but 
their  returns  are  so  incomplete  that  we  are  only  able  to  form 
estimates.  Their  total  product  is  6,550  tons,  worth  on  an  average 
$12  per  ton,  which  amount,  added  to  the  value  of  the  product  of 
the  previous  establishment,  makes  the  total  value  of  the  product 
of  eight  establishments,  instead  of  $15,000,  as  given  in  table  I, 
$18,600,  as  given  in  table  III.  The  number  of  hands  given  in  the 
tables  is  only  the  number  employed  by  one  establishment.  The 
fertilizers  manufactured  find  a  market  in  Maine,  Massachusetts, 
New  York  and  the  Southern  States. 


FISHERIES. 

The  returns  of  establishments  engaged  in  the  curing  and 
packing  of  fish  are  so  incomplete  and  imperfect  that  no  adequate 
idea  can  be  formed  of  the  extent  of  the  business.  As  the  result  of 
the  herring  and  codfish,  haddock,  pollock  and  mackerel  fisheries, 
the  total  value  of  the  product  cured  and  packed  will  undoubtedly 
approximate  to  at  least  $800,000,  giving  employment  to  not  less 
than  five  hundred  and  fifty  men. 

In  the  cod  and  mackerel  fisheries,  that  is,  in  the  catching  of 
such  fish,  it  will  be  seen  by  the  table  that  861  vessels  are 
•employed,  with  a  total  of  46,196  31-100  tons.  The  percentage  of 
tonnage,  as  compared  with  other  States,  is  as  follows :

The  fishery  industry  gives  employment  to  probably  two  thou- 
sand men,  or  more,  in  our  coast  towns,  and  the  total  value  of  their 
catch  the  present  year  will  not  be  less  than  eight  or  nine  hundred 
thousand  dollars.  The  catch  of  codfish  has  been  unusually  large. 

In  our  interior  fisheries,  the  propagation  of  salmon  and  trout  by 
artificial  means  is  a  new  enterprise  which  bids  fair  to  be  success- 
ful, if  its  success  is  not  already  assured. 

FLOURING  AND  GRIST  MILL  PRODUCTS. 

Returns  from  85  establishments  show  an  invested  capital  of 
$620,600;  bushels  of  grain  ground,  1,979,650;  barrels  of  flour 
manufactured,  60,225;  value  of  total  production,  $2,276,122; 
hands  employed,  161  ;  wages,  $72,204.  The  table  which  is  pre- 
sented embraces  custom  work,  or  grain  ground  for  individual 
owners,  as  well  as  for  a  market,  and  the  work  of  such  flouring 
mills  as  have  made  returns,  one  of  which,  in  Paris,  has  manufac- 
tured 12,000  barrels  of  flour,  which,  with  30,000  bushels  of  grain, 
is  valued  at  $135,000.  A  steam  grist  mill  in  Bangor  returns 
110,000  bushels  of  grain  ground,  valued  at  $85,000,  while  one 
mill  in  Lewiston  returns  175,000  bushels  of  grain  ground,  which, 
with  5,000  barrels  of  flour  manufactured,  is  valued  at  $180,000. 
Another  mill  in  the  same  city  returns  150,000  bushels  of  grain 
ground,  with  a  value  of  $120,000.  In  Portland,  one  mill  returns 
250,000  bushels  of  grain  ground,  valued  at  $250,000  ;  in  Yar- 
mouth, the  product  of  another  mill  is  105,000  bushels  of  grain 
ground  and  5,000  barrels  of  flour,  with  a  total  value  of  $125,000, 
while  in  Westbrook  the  product  of  another  mill  is  32,000  bushels 
of  grain  ground,  and  20,000  barrels  of  flour,  with  a  total  value  of 
$200,000.  In  Waterville,  another  mill  has  ground  61,800  bushels 
of  grain,  which,  with  1,000  barrels  of  flour  manufactured,  is  valued 
at  $58,325.

ICE. 

Our  returns  of  ice  prepared  for  market  show  that  twenty-four 
establishments,  principally  in  Kennebec  and  Knox  counties,  have 
cut  and  housed  301,000  tons,  valued  at  $552,000.  The  value  of 
this  product  is  very  fluctuating.  On  account  of  labor  saving 
machinery  and  other  advantages,  the  product  is  housed  ready  for 
market  at  a  small  expense.  The  industry  has  become  an  impor- 
tant one,  and  Maine  ice  goes  to  all  parts  of  the  world. 

IRON,  CAST,  FORGED  AND  ROLLED. 

The  table  devoted  to  this  branch  of  mechanical  industry  em- 
braces twenty -two  establishments,  with  a  total  capital  of  $695,200  ; 
value  of  production,  $1,649,640  ;  hands  employed,  472  ;  wages, 
$320,575.  The  castings  include  mill  machinery  of  all  kinds,  car 
wheels,  stoves,  hollow  ware,  &c.,  weighing  in  all  4,533  tons.  In 
forgings,  we  have  the  return  of  one  Portland  establishment,  which 
has  produced  500  tons  of  railroad  axles,  shaftings  and  other 
heavy  forgings.  A  Camden  establishment  has  forged  400  tons  in 
anchors.  There  is  a  return  of  one  rolling  mill  located  in  Portland, 
the  only  one  in  the  State,  which  has  a  capital  of  $300,000 ; 
employs  200  hands,  with  a  pay-roll 'of  $150,000,  and  has  produced 
14,000  tons  of  iron  rails,  value,  $1,100,000.  The  returns  of  some 
foundries  have  been  included  in  the  table  for  Machinery,  Steam 
Engines  and  Boilers.  The  total  value  of  the  product  of  our  iron 
manufactures  in  castings,  forgings,  &c.,  will  probably  exceed 
$2,500,000  the  present  year. 

LEATHER,  TANNED  AND  CURRIED. 

The  table  of  this  industry,  or  these  industries,  is  so  unsatisfac- 
tory, on  account  of  the  returns  making  no  distinction,  a«  a  general 
thing,  in  the  two  processes  of  tanning  and  currying,  that  while 
the  number,  so  far  as  establishments  are  concerned,  may  be  cor- 
rect, it  has  been  difficult  to  reach  approximate  results  in  the 
attempt  to  separate  the  two,  and  therefore  the  results  may  be 
erroneous,  as  the  value  of  the  hides  tanned  may  also  be  again 
included  in  the  value  of  hides  curried.  But  we  assume  that  the 
cases  of  duplication  in  values  are  not  numerous.  At  all  events, 
the  largest  tanning  establishments  have  made  correct  returns, 
which  justifies  the  assumption. 


1873.]  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  xxi 

In  consequence  of  the  great  Boston  fire,  our  Maine  tanners 
anticipated  a  lively  demand  for  their  product,  which,  together 
with  the  increase  of  shoe  factories  in  this  State,  led  to  unusually 
large  purchases  of  imported  hides  at  high  prices.  The  result  was, 
the  demand  was  not  active,  business  has  been  dull,  and  large 
stocks  of  all  grades  have  accumulated,  and  in  many  instances  sold 
less  than  cost. 

Returns  from  sixty-one  establishments  show  a  total  capital  of 
$1,529,380  ;  value  of  production,  $3,181,300  ;  hands  employed, 
663  ;  wages,  $306,244.  It  is  more  than  probable  that  the  total 
value  of  leather  tanned  in  this  State  the  present  'year  will  exceed 
four  millions  of  dollars,  and  the  total  value  of  leather  tanned,  more 
than  one  million  one  hundred  thousand  dollars.  Penobscot  county 
shows  the  largest  amount  of  capital  employed  in  this  industry, 
thirteen  establishments  giving  a  total  capital  of  $762,000  ;  value 
of  production,  $1,352,480.  One  establishment  in  the  town  of 
Kingman  in  that  county  tanned  1,000  tons,  or  150,000  sides  of 
leather,  value  $550,000.  In  the  town  of  Winn,  another  establish- 
ment, which  is  the  largest  tannery  in  the  United  States,  has  tanned 
TOO  tons  sole  leather,  value  $350,000.  A  tannery  in  Burnham, 
in  Waldo  county,  has  produced  250  tons  of  sole  leather,  value 
$100,000.  But  few  domestic  hides  are  used  in  Maine,  the  stock 
being  principally  foreign  importations  from  South  America, 
Mexico  and  South  Africa. 

LIME. 

Limestone  is  found  in  fourteen  counties  out  of  sixteen,  and  the 
manufacture  of  it  into  quicklime,  as  will  be  seen  by  the  returns,  is 
carried  on  in  a  most  extensive  manner.  It  forms  one  of  the  most 
important  industries  in  the  State,  giving  employment  to  numerous 
persons,  and  furnishing  freights  for  an  immense  fleet  of  coasting 
vessels.  . 

In  Knox  county  there  is  more  limestone  than  has  ever  been 
discovered  elsewhere  in  the  State.  Rockland  lime  has  become 
widely  known,  and  the  market  for  it  extends  from  Calais  to  New 
Orleans,  and  to  the  seaports  of  Western  Europe.  The  lime  quar- 
ries form  a  belt  three  miles  in  length,  and  the  stone  is  of  a  superior 
quality,  furnishing  more  than  fifty  per  cent,  of  pure  lime. 

The  business  has  increased  wonderfully  the  past  forty  years. 
In  1836,  it  is  estimated  that  the  product  of  all  the  kilns  in  the 
State  was  100,000  casks.  In  1861,  they  had  so  increased  that  the 


xxii  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  [1873. 

product  in  Roikland  alone  was  about  1,000,000  casks.  In  1870, 
there  were  $1,058,000  invested  in  the  industry,  739  hands  were 
employed,  and  the  value  of  the  product  that  year  was  $1,741,553. 
The  returns  received  by  this  department  this  year  from  twenty- 
five  establishments  show  an  invested  capital  of  $1,099,500, 
seventy-nine  kilns,  1,534,000  casks  of  lime  manufactured,  456 
hands  employed,  and  the  total  value  of  the  product  $1,535,025. 
Had  full  returns  been  received,  it  is  estimated  that  the  aggregate 
value  of  lime  manufactured  the  present  year  would  be  shown  .to 
reach  at  least  $1,800,000.  In  Bockland  the  total  production  will 
not  be  less  than  1,200,000  casks,  in  the  manufacture  of  which 
employment  has  been  indirectly  given  to  eight  or  ten  thousand 
persons.  In  Camden  and  Thomaston  extensive  operations  are 
also  carried  on.  The  localities  of  limestone  are  numerous,  and  a 
superior  quality  for  building  purposes  can  be  quarried,  while  an 
inferior  quality  can  be  obtained  in  the  interior  for  agricultural 
purposes. 

LUMBER. 

The  manufacture  of  lumber  is  one  of  the  vital  industries  of 
Maine.  It  is  a  business  which  either  directly  or  indirectly  affects 
numerous  other  industries,  as  well,  as  the  prosperity  of  a  large 
number  of  towns.  There  is  no  other  kind  of  productive  industry 
which  so  many  carry  on  as  the  manufacture  of  lumber.  There  is 
scarcely  a  stream  coursing  through  even  the  most  sparcely  popu- 
lated village,  but  what  its  power,  or  a  portion  of  it,  is  devoted  to 
the  running  of  a  saw  mill.  The  smaller  manufactures  outnumber 
the  larger  as  two  is  to  one,  and  the  proportion  may  be  even  greater. 
In  the  hands  of  the  larger  manufacturers,  however,  is  concentrated 
the  principal  amount  of  working  capital,  and  the  result  of  their 
operations  constitutes  the  main  volume  of  business. 

Returns  from  329  saw  mills  give  a  total  capital  of  $4,055,000  ; 
steam  power,  2,192  horse;  water  power,  15,724  horse;  produc- 
tion of  long  lumber,  344,406,000  feet;  production  of  short  lumber, 
60,961,000  feet ;  value  of  production,  $5,184,445  ;  hands  employed, 
4,579  ;  wages,  $1,663,556.  In  a  large  number  of  returns,  ommis- 
sions  have  been  supplied  in  the  absence  of  particulars,  and  correc- 
tions have  been  made  in  the  table  devoted  to  lumber,  of  such 
errors  as  were  discovered  in  the  text  after  it  was  printed.  In  the 
estimate,  the  product  of  those  Portland  manufacturers  given  in 
the  text  as  carrying  on  their  operations  out  of  the  State,  has  been 


1873.]  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  xxjjj 

excluded,  notwithstanding  the  product  is  brought  to  Portland  and 
shipped  from  that  port  for  a  market. 

With  such  data  at  our  disposal,  imperfect  as  it  is,  we  have 
attempted  an  estimate  of  the  total  number  of  saw  mills  in  the 
State,  and  their  aggregate  results  for  the  year,  which  is  as  fol- 
lows :  Total  number  of  saw  mills,  1,109  ;  capital,  $7,029,442  ;  steam 
power,  3,403  horse;  water  power,  41,383  horse;  long  lumber 
manufactured,  667,420,000  feet;  short  lumber,  72,405,000  feet; 
value  of  production,  including  shocks,  staves,  headings,  &c., 
$9,672,235;  hands  employed,  7,844;  wages,  $2,851,000.  It  will 
be  borne  in  mind  that  this  is  an  approximate  estimate,  based  on 
imperfect  and  incomplete  returns. 

The  United  States  census  report  of  1870  gives  as  the  total  num- 
ber of  saw  mills  for  that  year,  1,099  ;  steam  power,  3,213  horse  ; 
water  power,  38,898  horse;  capital,  $6,614,875;  long  lumber 
manufactured,  639,167,000  feet;  short  lumber,  631,090,000  (not 
feet) ;  total  value  of  production,  including  shocks,  headings, 
staves,  &c.,  $11,395,747;  hands  employed,  8,506  ;  wages,  $2,- 
449,132. 

Although  there  has  been  an  increase  in  the  number  of  saw  mills 
since  1870,  as  well  as  an  increase,  as  near  as  can  be  approximated, 
of  at  least  $414,567  in  the  amount  of  capital  invested,  it  is  not 
unlikely  that  our  figures  of  the  amount  of  production  may  be 
too  high,  especially  if  we  accept  the  following  approximate 
estimate  of  the  amount  of  logs  and  sawed  lumber  on  hand  last 
spring :

report  as  the  total  number  of  logs  on  hand  last  spring,  89,000,000  ; 
sawed  lumber,  10,300,000  feet. 

Our  judgment  is,  based  on  such  complete  returns  as  have  been 
made  to  this  department,  that  our  estimate  is  not  far  out  of  the 
way.  The  product  of  this  year  as  compared  with  the  product  of 
1810,  in  the  ratio  of  increase  or  decrease,  will  stand  about  as 
follows  in  the  localities  mentioned.

In  Bangor,  the  great  lumber  mart  of  the  State,  the  amount  of 
lumber  surveyed  the  .present  year  is  reported  at  179,202,353  feet, 
or  67,251,296  feet  less  than  1872,  and  48,289,322  less  than  1871. 
Some  10  to  15  per  cent.,  probably,  of  the  survey,  is  a  re-survey  of 
manufactured  lumber  on  hand. 

The  amount   surveyed  in  Bangor  from  1832  to  and  including 

1873,  is  as  follows  :

The  largest  amount  of  capital  invested  in  the  manufacture  of 
lumber  is  in  Penobscot  county,  where  the  amount  reaches  two 
millions  of  dollars.  Washington  county  ranks  next,  the  amount 
being  about  one  million  and  a  half  dollars.  Hancock  next,  where 
the  amount  reaches  about  seven  hundred  thousand  dollars.  Ken- 
nebec  stands  next,  where  the  amount  is  some  six  hundred  thousand 
dollars.  Piscataquis  has  the  smallest  amount  invested  in  the 
business,  or  about  fifty  thousand  dollars. 

The  manufacture  of  lumber  has  been  retarded  somewhat  in  some 
localities  during  the  year,  on  account  of  drouth.  A  decrease  of 
the  product  in  other  localities  is  on  account  of  the  limited  demand 
and  the  high  price  of  logs,  while  in  still  other  localities  railroad 
contentions  are  reported  to  have  been  a  drawback  in  the  trans- 
portation of  the  manufactured  product.  The  stock  panic  in  the 
fall  had  a  slight  depressing  effect,  but  the  business  of  the  year  has, 
on  the  whole,  been  fully  up  to  the  average. 

A  home  survey  of  all  lumber  manufactured  in  the  State  is  being 
urged,  similar  to  that  which  has  been  in  practice  at  Bangor  for 
some  thirty  years ;  so  that  our  citizens  engaged  in  the  business 
shall  not  be  at  the  mercy  of  surveyors  out  of  the  State,  at  ports  to 
to  which  lumber  is  shipped.  The  measure  is  regarded  as  of  a 
protective  character,  and  carrys  with  it  a  uniformity  of  price,  as 
well  as  of  survey. 

It  has  been  prophesied  that  our  forests  are  decreasing  to  such 
an  extent  that  in  from  five  to  ten  years  the  supply  of  lumber  will 
be  exhausted.  It  is  very  true  that  for  several  years,  what  with 
the  lumberman's  axe  and  the  destruction  of  acres  of  timber  lands 
by  fire,  our  forests  have  diminished  in  extent ;  it  is  also  true  that 
for  as  many  years  the  same  prophecy  has  been  made,  and  yet 
Maine  still  continues  to  produce  her  average  yearly  product  of 
lumber  of  some  six  or  seven  hundred  millions  of  feet.  From  such 
data  as  we  have  before  us,  although  there  is  a  great  scarcity  of 
pine,  our  forest  area  does  not  seem  to  diminish  to  an  extent  to 
cause  apprehension  that  in  the  next  decade  the  lumber  supply  will 
be  entirely  exhausted.  It  is  estimated  in  the  United  States  report 
of  the  Commissioner  of  Agriculture  for  the  year  of  1872,  that 
Maine  has  5,835,058  acres  in  farms,  while  her  area  includes  22,- 
400,000  acres  of  land  and  water.  In  the  table  following,  an  esti- 
mate of  the  forest  area,  outside  of  that  belonging  to  farms,  is 
added  to  the  total  acreage  of  farm  woodlands,  to  make  the  esti- 


XXVI

mated  total  area  in  forest.  In  estimating  the  proportion  in  wood- 
land, the  amount  of  water  in  lakes  and  streams  and  other  wastes, 
incapable  of  producing  trees,  must  be  taken  into  consideration. 
A  careful  canvassing  of  facts  shows  that  of  the  area,  exclusive  of 
farms,  one-half  is  assumed  to  be  forest,  in  Maine,  New  Hampshire, 
Vermont  and  Pennsylvania ;  one-third  in  forest  for  Massachusetts, 
New  York  and  Michigan;  one-tenth  for  Rhode  Island,  and  Con- 
necticut, and  one-sixth  for  Minnesota  and  Wisconsin :

"  In  Maine, "  says  the  authority  from  which  we  have  quoted, 
"  scarcely  more  than  one-fourth  of  the  area  is  in  farms ;  the 
remaining  land  being  covered,  generally,  with  forest  growths, 
though  culled  of  valuable  timber,  increases  the  census  percentage 
from  38.1  to  46.9,  and  the  increase  would  be  much  greater  (than 
the  estimated  proportion  of  one-half),  but  for  the  remarkable 
extent  of  water  surface,  in  addition  to  barren  ledges,  and  other 
wastes. " 

The  following  table  presents  a  statement  of  the  area  in  farms,

Of  the  foregoing,  as  well  as  of  the  other  States  not  included, 
Maine,  New  York,  Pennsylvania,  Michigan,  Minnesota  and  Wis- 
consin are  the  principal  lumbering  States,  and  from  which  the 
chief  supplies  of  lumber  are  drawn  which  go  to  make  up  the  ten 
thousand  million  feet,  the  annual  product  of  the  country.  In  pro- 
portion to  the  area  of  acreage,  it  will  be  seen  that  Maine  has  the 
largest  per  cent,  in  forest  area  of  any  of  the  States  mentioned. 
For  over  half  a  century  the  destruction  of  our  woodland  has  been 
in  progress ;  but  with  new  growth,  notwithstanding  the  annual 
diminution  of  timber  lands,  the  destruction  must  be  retarded,  so 
that  it  looks  as  if  the  forest  area  would  not  be  stripped  of  all  its 
merchantable  lumber  for  at  least  fifty  years. 

MACHINERY,  &c. 

Thirty  establishments  for  the  manufacture  of  mill  and  all  kinds 
of  machinery,  steam  engines,  builers,  locomotives,  railroad  cars, 
castings,  marine  and  miscellaneous  work,  return  an  invested  capi- 
tal of  $1,097,500  ;  value  of  product,  $2,501,247  ;  hands  employed, 
1,101 ;  wages,  $649,918.  One  establishment  in  Portland,  with  a 
capital  of  $150,000,  manufactures  steam  engines,  boilers,  tanks 
and  general  machinery,  to  the  value  of  $150,000.  Another  estab- 
lishment in  the  same  city  manufactures  40  locomotives,  value

$480,000  ;  270  railroad  cars,  value  $245,000,  which,  with  marine 
and  miscellaneous  work,  amounts  to  a  total  value  of  $900,000. 
The  force  of  hands  has  since  been  increased,  and  seven  locomo- 
tives a  month  is  the  average  on  entering  upon  the  new  year.  The 
total  value  of  the  product  of  six  establishments  in  that  city, 
including  the  two  given,  is  $1,240,000  ;  men  employed,  681 ; 
wages,  $39*7,000.  One  establishment  in  Camden,  in  the  produc- 
tion of  railroad  cars,  car  wheels,  mill  machinery,  &c.,  turns  out  a 
value  of  $500,000.  A  car  factory  in  Augusta,  with  a  capital  of 
$40,000,  turns  out  185  cars,  valued  at  $130,000  ;  hands  employed, 
35  wages,  $16,000.  Another  car  factory  in  Bath,  with  a  capital 
of  $150,000,  has  manufactured  225  cars,  valued  at  $158,100  ; 
average  number  of  hands,  80  ;  wages,  $55,000. 

In  the  manufacture  of  cotton  and  woolen  machinery,  eight  estab- 
lishments return  an  invested  capital  of  $212,800  ;  value  of  product, 
$315,500;  hands  employed,  250;  wages,  $116,812. 

OIL. 

There  is  one  factory  in  the  State  for  the  manufacture  of  kero- 
sene and  lubricating  oil,  naptha,  gasolene  and  parafine.  It  is 
situated  in  Cape  Elizabeth,  and  the  value  of  the  product  this  year 
is  returned  to  this  department  at  $254,500. 

The  manufacture  of  oil  from  porgies  or  menhaden  is  becoming 
an  important  industry.  We  have  returns  from  fourteen  factories, 
three  of  which  either  make  partial  or  no  returns  of  particulars.  It 
will  be  found  that  in  such  returns  as  have  been  received,  a  total 
capital  of  $323,500  is  reported  ;  value  of  production,  $352,550  ; 
hands  employed,  446.  Had  full  returns  been  sent,  it  is  likely  that  the 
total  capital  would  have  exceeded  $400,000,  and  the  value  of  pro- 
duction $500,000.  Nearly  all  of  the  factories  are  located  in 
Lincoln  county.  In  the  prosecution  of  the  business  a  numerous 
fleet  of  small  vessels  and  steamers  are  engaged,  giving  employ- 
ment, on  the  water  and  land,  to  probably  not  less  than  one  thou- 
sand men. 

OIL  FLOOR  CLOTH. 

Returns  from  four  factories,  with  an  invested  capital  of  $385,- 
000,  show~a  product  valued  at  $964,000.  There  are  at  least  two 
more  factories  in  the  State,  and  the  value  of  their  product  added 
to  the  sum  given  will  undoubtedly  make  the  aggregate  value  of 
the  product  in  the  State  $1,500,000. 


1873.]  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY. 

PAPER,  PRINTING  AND  WRAPPING. 

Returns  from  nine  establishments  show  an  invested  capital  of 
$1,500,000;  value  of  product,  $3,041,600;  hands  employed,  836, 
of  which  number  319  are  females ;  amount  of  wages,  $356,727. 
One  mill  in  Minot,  probably  the  largest  in  the  State,  has  produced 
1,800  tons,  valued  at  $550,000. 

RAILROADS. 

We  present  in  tabulated  form  certain  statistics  relating  to  rail- 
roads in  Maine.  In  1850  the  total  mileage  was  245.59.  In  1873 
the  total  mileage  we  find  to  be  905.05,  exclusive  of  double  track  or 
sidings,  and  involving  in  cost  of  construction  and  equipment  over 
forty  millions  of  dollars.  There  has  been  wonderful  progress 
made  in  the  enlargement  of  our  railroad  system,  and  the  end  is 
not  yet.  New  enterprises  are  in  contemplation,  for  which  charters 
have  been  granted,  and  extensions  of  existing  routes  are  also  pro- 
posed. Some  of  these  projects  are  already  making  good  progress, 
with  a  prospect  of  early  construction.  With  the  development  of 
our  railroad  system,  improved  facilities  are  afforded  for  the  trans- 
portation of  the  products  of  our  mechanical  and  manufacturing 
arts,  while  quick,  and  convenient  transit  is  presented  to  travelers. 
Nearly  all  of  our  flourishing  communities  are  situated  on  existing 
lines,  or  are  easily  accessible  to  them.  By  her  system  of  railroad 
communication,  and  by  the  consummation  of  such  plans  for  the 
future  that  are  in  view,  Maine  will  provide  such  means  of  transit, 
that  her  territory  will  become,  at  no  distant  day,  the  great 
thoroughfare  of  European  travel. 

SHIPBUILDING. 

It  may  be  said  that  the  revival  of  shipbuilding  in  this  State  with 
the  present  year  is  made  complete.  The  following  table  shows 
the  amount  of  tonnage  built  from  January  1,  1873,  to  January  1, 
1874: 

Number.  Tonnage. 

Ships 10  14,598.41

Schooners 206  52,539.11 

Sloops 12  321.63

Steamers 9   1,416.15 

Propellers 1   6.96 


Total 276  89,817.17 

This  flattering  exhibit  of  tonnage  built  is  an  increase  of  more 
than  119  per  cent,  of  the  total  tonnage  of  1872,  as  near  as  it  can 
be  approximated,  and  a  larger  amount  of  tonnage  than  was  ever 
built  in  any  one  year.  The  result  is  one  full  of  cheering  omens 
for  the  future,  and  one  attributable,  perhaps,  more  to  natural 
causes  than  to  any  legislation  which  has  taken  place  for  the  relief 
of  American  commerce  during  its  period  of  prostration.  On 
account  of  the  enhanced  value  of  labor  and  materials  abroad,  our 
Maine  shipbuilders  can  now  successfully  compete  with  those  in 
the  Provinces.  There  is  every  indication  that  our  shipbuilding 
industry  has  been  restored  to  a  permanent  basis,  and  that  Maine 
this  year  contributes  to  the  mercantile  marine  of  the  country  a 
larger  amount  of  tonnage  than  any  other  State, — producing  sailing 
vessels  equal  to  any  afloat,  and  in  some  respects  superior.  The 
total  value  of  the  tonnage  produced  the  present  year  will  be 
$5,399,030. 

WOOLEN  GOODS. 

Returns  from  thirty-nine  establishments  for  the  manufacture  of 
woolen  goods  represent  a  total  capital  of  $3,217,000 ;  steam  power, 
240  horse  ;  water  power,  2,267  horse  ;  sets  of  cards,  196  ;  value  of 
stock  used,  $3,758,548;  value  of  production,  $6,605,292;  hands 
employed,  males  1,346,  females  1,183,  children  198, — total  number, 
2,727  ;  wages,  $995,107.  One  establishment  of  the  foregoing,  in 
Lewiston,  includes  capital,  power,  hands  employed  and  wages  in 
return  of  cotton  goods. 

The  product  turned  out  embraces  beavers,  tricots,  meltons, 
cassimeres,  doeskins,  ladies'  cloths,  repellants,  blankets,  flannels, 
frockings,  stocking  yarn,  &c.  One  mill  in  Sanford,  York  county, 
manufactures  plush  carriage  robes  to  the  value  of  $175,000,  and  is 
the  only  mill  of  the  kind  in  the  United  States  that  manufactures 
such  goods.  But  few  establishments  use  domestic  wool,  the  raw 
material  in  use  being  principally  wool  of  foreign  importation. 
Shoddy  cloths  are  but  little  known,  most  of  the  goods  manu- 
factured being  superfine  cloths,  which  find  a  general  market. 


1873.]  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  xxxi 

According  to  our  returns,  the  largest  amount  of  woolen  goods 
is  manufactured  in  Androscoggin  county,  nine  establishments  re- 
turning as  the  value  of  their  product,  $1,941,618.  Kennebec 
county  comes  next,  five  establishments  returning  as  the  value  of 
their  product,  $954,000.  York  county  ranks  next,  five  establish- 
ments returning  as  the  value  of  their  product,  $703,450.  Penob- 
scot  county  comes  next,  two  establishments  returning  as  the  value 
of  their  product,  $675,524.  Cumberland  follows  next,  four  estab- 
lishments returning  as  the  value  of  their  product,  $667,200. 


MINING  AND  QUARRYING  INDUSTRIES. 

The  statistics  relating  to  the  mining  of  ores  or  metals  found  in 
this  State,  and  also  the  quarry  ing  of  marble,  granite  and  slate,  are 
not  as  complete  as  we  had  hoped  for.  Maine  is  rich  in  mineral 
wealth,  especially  in  Aroostook,  Piscataquis  and  Washington 
counties,  where  such  useful  metals  as  iron  and  lead  are  found,  and 
need  only  to  be  brought  to  light  from  their  hidden  places.  We 
have  also  such  metals  as  zinc,  copper,  tin,  manganese,  gold  and 
arsenic.  But  few  of  these,  however,  have  been  extracted  from 
their  native  beds.  There  is  plenty  of  material  for  the  profitable 
manufacture  of  alum,  copperas  and  sulphur.  Most  of  our  plaster 
mills,  which,  this  year,  have  ground  probably  not  less  than  28,000 
tons,  obtain  their  material  from  out  of  the  State,  when  there  are 
evidences  of  gypsum  to  be  found  in  Maine.  Besides  native  emery, 
there  is  an  abundance  of  hone-stone  or  flint  rock  desirable  for 
grindstones ;  still  manufacturers  procure  their  stock  from  out  of 
the  State.  At  Deer  Isle  honestones  are  manufactured  from  the 
novaculites  found  in  that  vicinity,  while  whetstones  are  made  from 
the  mica  schist  obtained  in  numerous  other  localities. 

From  such  returns  as  have  been  received,  we  should  judge  that 
there  is  invested  in  our  quarrying  and  mining  industries  a  capital 
of  not  less  than  $1,200,000,  thgt  nearly  5,000  hands  are  employed, 
and  that  the  value  of  this  year's  product  will  be  between  four  and 
five  millions  of  dollars,  the  greater  value  being  the  result  of 
granite  quarrying. 

IRON. 

This  is  the  only  ore  that  has  ever  been  worked  to  any  extent  in 
Maine.  Our  return  from  Pembroke  shows  a  good  business  in 
smelting  the  ore,  but  not  up  to  the  capacity  of  the  works,  as 


xxxii  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  [1873. 

operations  during1  the  summer,  as  we  learn,  were  retarded  on 
account  of  repairs.  The  amount  of  iron  manufactured  for  the 
year  is  6,000  tons,  valued  at  $480,000.  The  company  also  manu- 
factured 15,000  kegs  of  nails,  valued  at  $75,000.  The  company 
has  a  capital  of  $200,000,  and  gives  employment  to  300  hands. 
Their  market  is  Maine,  Massachusetts  and  Connecticut.  Although 
we  present  a  meagre  return  of  the  doings  of  the  Piscataquis  Iron 
Works,  formerly  known  as  the  Kadahdin  Iron  Works,  we  have  a 
letter,  written  at  our  request,  which  we  shall  shortly  give,  from 
0.  W.  Davis,  Jr.,  of  Portland,  President  of  the  works,  which  fur- 
nishes valuable  information  respecting  our  iron  deposits.  As 
preliminary  to  what  Mr.  Davis  writes,  we  would  state  that  in 
Aroostook  county,  is  to  be  found  iron  ore  of  a  superior  quality. 
So  far  as  is  known,  that  county  contains  the  principal  deposit, 
and  the  ore  appears  inexhaustible  in  quantity.  In  other  portions 
of  the  State,  there  are  deposits  of  bog  ore  considerable  in  extent. 
Magnetic  iron  ore  has  also  been  found.  In  short,  there  is  an 
ample  supply  of  iron  in  Maine,  which  only  requires  capital  to 
develop  and  make  available. 

The  Piscataquis  Iron  Works  are  about  eighteen  miles  from  the 
Milo  station  of  the  Bangor  and  Piscataquis  railroad,  and  situated 
in  the  valley  of  the  west  branch  of  "Pleasant  river.  In  1856,  the 
yield  of  ore  was  2,350  tons.  For  several  years  operations  have 
been  suspended,  or  until  Mr.  Davis  obtained  possession  of  the 
property.  Recently  new  deposits  in  the  vicinity  have  been  dis- 
covered. The  ore  is  an  excellent  quality  of  charcoal  iron,  and 
well  adapted  for  machinery,  car  wheels  and  fine  castings.  The 
belt  has  been  traced  for  miles,  with  the  best  of  limestone  found 
for  flux  and  hard  wood  forests  for  charcoal. 

The  letter  from  Mr.  Davis,  who  has  spent  a  good  deal  of  time  in 
Investigating  the  iron  deposits  of  Aroostook,  is  as  follows  : 

PORTLAND,  ME.,  November  17th,  1873. 
Mr.  W.  E.  S.  WHITMAN, 

Department  Industrial  Statistics: 

DEAR  SIR  :— In  reply  to  your  favor  of  10th  inst.,  I  have  to  say,  that  in  the  summer 
and  fall  of  1872,  I  spent  several  weeks  in  company  with  an  experienced  Mining 
Engineer  of  Pennsylvania,  in  examining  the  iron  deposits  of  Aroostook  county. 
Owing  to  the  entire  absence  of  any  systematic  researches  in  this  field,  and  the  want 
of  any  reliable  geological  survey  of  our  State,  the  work  was  difficult  and  slow,  but  the 
result  conclusively  established  the  very  great  importance  of  these  enormous  deposits 
to  the  future  industrial  progress  of  this  State. 

Beginning  in  Wade  plantation,  on  the  Aroostook  river,  at  the  point  where  the  ore 
vjas  discovered  by  Dr.  Jackson  in  the  survey  of  1836-8,  we  found  three  well  marked 


1873.]  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  XXXlii 

veins  running  with  general  direction  of  the  formations  of  that  region  in  a  north- 
easterly and  south-westerly  direction,  through  the  third  and  fourth  ranges  of  the  towns 
from  the  east  line  of  the  State,  as  far  to  the  north,  certainly,  as  one  of  the  original 
townships  of  New  Sweden,  and  southerly  to  number  nine.  "Without  claiming  to  have 
followed  the  veins  over  the  whole  of  this  distance,  we  did  find  and  uncover  them  at 
five  or  six  different  points  within  the  range  named,  and,  in  more  than  one  instance, 
made  a  section  of  and  took  samples  at  every  five  feet  for  a  distance  of  one  hundred  feet 
perpendicular  to  the  general  direction  of  the  vein. 

The  ore  is  a  compact,  slaty  red  hematite,  standing  in  a  nearly  perpendicular  position, 
enclosed  between  red  and  green  slates,  and  shaly  limestones.  From  the  character  of 
the  ore  and  the  accompanying  rocks,  I  judge  its  position,  geologically,  to  be  in  the 
Silurian  formation,  and  corresponding  to  the  so-called  Clinton  group,  which  is  so  well 
developed  in  Clinton  county,  New  York  State. 

Analysis  of  the  various  samples  by  J.  B.  Britton,  Esq.,  of  Philadelphia,  gave  for 
ore — 

Metallic  iron,  46.77  per  cent. 

Insoluble  silicious  matter,  21.98        " 

Phosphorus,  .61        " 

Sulphur,        -  -  trace. 

Manganese,  4.00        " 

For  another — 

Metallic  iron,  41.93  per  cent. 

Metallic  manganese,  2.72        " 

Phosphorus  .94        " 

Sulphur,        -  none. 

Silicious  matter  26.07        " 

The  amount  of  the  ore  is  simply  incalculable, — the  quality  fair.  Though  the  amount 
of  phosphorus  is  large,  that  of  sulphur  is  practically  nothing.  Ore  of  identical  quality 
is  largely  worked  in  central  New- York  from  veins  from  four  to  ten  feet  in  width,  and 
made  into  an  excellent  foundiy  iron.  Running  parallel  to  the  ore  are  veins  of  lime- 
stone, samples  of  which  on  being  analyzed,  gave  ninety  ( 90 )  per  cent,  of  carbonate  of 
lime.  Covering  the  whole  country  in  the  neighborhood  of  the  veins,  are  primitive 
forests  of  white  and  yellow  birch,  beech,  maple  and  ash,  of  boundless  extent,  and  of 
the  best  quality  for  charcoal. 

Lack  of  transportation  and  want  of  such  information  as  a  geological  survey  would 
give,  alone  prevents  the  development  of  this  region.  It  may  be  safely  said,  that  at  no 
point  in  this  countiy,  can  the  three  elements  necessary  for  a  charcoal  iron  production 
(ore  limestone  and  charcoal,)  be  more  cheaply  brought  together  than  in  the  valley  of 
the  Aroostook. 

In  reference  to  your  inquiries  about  Katahdin,  I  will  add,  that  these  works  were 
started  up  during  the  past  summer,  and  are  still  in  operation.  The  ore  here  is  a 
hydrated  brown  hematite,  lying  upon  the  side  of  a  hill  to  the  depth  of  three  to  six 
feet,  and  seems  to  be  the  result  of  the  precipitation  of  iron  from  water  of  mineral, 
springs  which  have  become  impregnated  by  the  decomposition  of  iron  pyrites  in  the 
neighboring  slate  rocks.  The  furnace  was  built  some  thirty  years  ago,  but  owing  to 
the  difficulty  of  hauling  iron  by  teams  to  Bangor,  a  distance  of  fifty  miles,  has  been 
run  at  intervals  only  since  that  time. 

It  would  be  difficult  to  estimate  the  amount  of  capital  invested  from  the  original 
operations  till  now ;  but,  in  addition  to  the  30,000  acres  of  land  included  in  the  prop- 
erty,— to  build  anew  and  put  into  as  effective  shape  as  now,  including  recent  repairs, 
the  dams,  saw  mill,  hotel,  houses,  shops,  coal  kilns  and  furnace,  would  require  an 
expenditure  of  at  least  $100,000. 
Ill 


xxxiv  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  [1873. 

The  capacity  of  the  furaace  is  about  ten  tons  a  day,  of  twenty-four  hours,  though 
now  producing  about  seven  tons.  When  fully  working,  about  twenty  tons  of  ore,  two 
tons  of  limerock,  and  fifteen  hundred  to  two  thousand  bushels  of  coal  are  required 
daily. 

Ore  yields  fifty -five  per  cent.,  and  costs  after  roasting,  about  $2  per  ton.  Charcoal 
is  made  in  thirteen  brick  kilns,  yielding  40  to  50  bushels  to  the  cord  of  wood,  and  costs 
8  to  10  cents  per  bushel.  Limerock  is  not  found  convenient,  and  is  hauled  by  teams 
from  Sebec,  at  about  $4  per  ton.  The  works  are  on  Pleasant  river,  eighteen  miles 
from  Milo,  to  which  point  the  iron  is  hauled  by  teams  for  the  present.  From  seventy- 
five  to  one  hundred  and  twenty -five  men,  with  fif$-  to  seventy-five  horses,  are  employed 
in  cutting  and  hauling  wood,  ore  and  limestone,  and  six  four-horse  teams  hauling  iron 
to  the  depot.  Wages  paid,  are  from  $1.25  per  day  to  common  laborers,  to  $2  for 
furnace  hands.  Wood  is  chopped  at  75c  to  $1.00  per  cord,  and  costs  at  the  furnace 
$1.75  to  $2.25  per  cord. 

The  iron  so  far  made  this  season  has  proved  of  excellent  quality,  being  largely  used 
for  car-wheels,  steam  cylinders  and  castings  requiring  great  strength,  and  readily 
brings  for  these  purposes  from  $10  to  $15  more  than  anthracite  or  bituminous  coal 
iron.  The  product  so  far  has  been  shipped  to  Portland,  Boston,  Jersey  City  and 
Philadelphia,  to  car  factories  and  locomotive  works,  with  a  sample  shipment  to 
Birmingham,  England,  with  a  fair  prospect  of  a  permanent  market  in  that  country. 
I  am  yours,  respectfully, 

O.  W.  DAVIS,  JR. 

LEAD. 

We  have  no  return  from  Lubec  where  veins  of  lead  have  been 
worked,  and  an  excellent  article  of  the  sulphuret  of  lead  obtained. 
Galena  has  also  been  found  at  Corinna,  Dexter  and  Parsonsfield, 
and  many  of  the  gangues  have  furnished  good  specimens  of  the 

metal. 

COPPER. 

This  ore  has  also  been  found  at  Lubec,  and  at  Carrol,  but  we 
are  not  advised  of  any  attempt  to  open  the  veins  which  have  been 

discovered. 

TIN. 

This  metal  has  been  found,  but  the  value  of  the  gangues  has 
not  been  determined,  or  whether  they  will  pay  for  working. 

FELDSPAR. 

There  is  a  large  amount  of  feldspar  in  Maine,  especially  adapted 
for  making  porcelain  and  China  ware,  but  we  do  not  learn  of  any 
attempt  to  develop  it,  except  at  Topsham,  where  there  are  two 
companies,  only  one  of  which  is  in  operation,  we  believe.  The 
parties  operating  crush  the  rock  and  ship  it  to  Trenton,  N.  J.  It 
is  worth  two  dollars  per  ton,  and  1,000  tons  have  been  shipped 
the  present  year. 

NATIVE  EMERY. 

We  have  the  return  of  a  company  operating  in  the  town  of 
Andover  for  native  emery,  for  the  making  of  emery  wheels,  hones, 


1873.]  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  XXXV 

scythe  stones  and  rifles.  They  have  mined  500  tons  the  present 
year,  and  the  value  of  their  production  is  $50,000.  The  emery 
crushed  by  a  company  in  Bath  is  from  imported  rock. 

GRANITE. 

It  has  been  stated  on  scientific  authority  that  there  is  granite 
enough  in  Maine  to  build  all  the  cities  of  the  world.  The  granitic 
formation  is  certainly  an  extensive  one,  and  its  varieties  traverse 
the  larger  portion  of  the  State.  Blocks  of  immense  size  have  been 
split  out,  some  weighing  more  than  one  hundred  tons  each.  In 
quality,  the  granite  quarried  is  of  fine  grain,  beautiful  in  color,  and 
very  durable.  The  facilities  for  quarrying  are  unequalled,  and  the 
economical  advantages  of  shipment  cannot  be  surpassed,  most  of 
the  quarries  being  on  navigable  waters.  The  principal  localities 
of  granite  quarrying  are  Biddeford,  Kennebunk,  York,  Newfield, 
Waterford,  North  Yarmouth,  Brunswick,  Phipsburg,  Hallowell, 
Augusta,  Jay,  Wiscasset,  Edgecomb,  Friendship,  Mount  Waldo 
and  Mosquito  Mountain  quarries  on  the  Penobscot,  Spruce  Head 
(South  Thomaston),  Clark's  Island  (St.  George),  Fox  and  Hurri- 
cane islands  (Vinalhaven),  Dix  Island  (Muscle  Ridge  Plantation), 
Frankfort,  Bluehill,  Brooksville,  Deer  Isle,  Sullivan,  Sedgwick, 
Gouldsboro',  Mt.  Desert,  Calais  and  other  places,  all  of  which  can 
furnish  no  lack  of  materials  for  building  or  other  purposes,  and 
whose  supplies  are  seemingly  inexhaustible.  Most  of  the  quarries 
are  on  the  coast,  the  principal  ones  being  in  Kuox  and  Lincoln 
counties.  These  quarries  are  located  mainly  on  Fox,  Hurricane, 
Dix,  and  Clark's  islands,  the  principal  companies  being  the  Bod- 
well  Granite  Company,  which  own  no  less  than  twelve  quarries 
and  give  employment  to  not*  less  than  1,200  men  ;  the  Dix  Island 
company,  which  has  employed  some  800  men  or  more ;  the  Clark's 
Island  company,  which  employs  over  300  men  ;  and  the  Hurricane 
Granite  Company,  which  has  a  force  of  100  men  or  more.  From 
the  quarries  of  these  companies,  the  stone  for  the  new  War  and 
Navy  department  buildings  has  been  furnished,  as  well  as  for 
other  public  structures  in  various  parts  of  the  country.  The  pay- 
roll of  these  companies  will  aggregate  the  present  year  at  least 
$3,000,000,  many  of  the  workmen  receiving  four  dollars  per  day. 
The  stone  is  all  hewn  into  proper  shape  after  being  taken  from  the 
quarry,  cut  to  its  proper  dimensions  to  fit  into  its  place  in  the 
building,  then  boxed  and  hooped  and  shipped  to  its  destination. 
The  Hallowell  Granite  Company  also  does  an  immense  business, 


XXX  VI  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  £1873. 

employing  a  force  of  nearly  1,000  men.  At  present  they  are  fur- 
nishing stone  for  the  new  State  House,  Albany,  N.  Y.,  besides 
doing  a  large  amount  of  monumental  work.  There  are  other 
smaller  companies  also  engaged  in  extensive  operations.  At  Sul- 
livan immense  numbers  of  paving  stones  are  got  out,  which  are 
shipped  to  Boston,  New  York  and  Southern  ports.  It  will  thus 
be  seen  that  granite  quarrying  of  itself  affords  a  revenue  of 
increasing  wealth.  During  the  present  winter  the  business  will 
be  prosecuted  with  more  activity  than  ever,  on  account  of  sev- 
eral heavy  contracts  having  been  taken  by  some  of  the  largest 
operators. 

MARBLE. 

In  Aroostook  county  is  to  be  found,  as  we  are  advised,  a  splen- 
did article  of  statuary  marble,  distributed  along  the  Penobscot 
belt,  running  across  the  northern  part  of  the  State.  The  marble 
found  thus  far  is  considered  better  adapted  for  building  than  for 
ornamental  purposes.  It  has  not  been  found  in  great  abundance, 
and  we  hear  of  but  few  localities  where  quarries  have  been  opened 
and  worked.  It  has  been  found  at  Sidney,  Camden,  Hope,  Union, 
Thomaston  and  Machiasport.  A  very  good  article  of  verdantique 
marble  has  been  found  at  Deer  Isle,  where  we  have  a  return  from 
the  company  which  is  operating,  and,  as  we  understand,  with 
profit.  The  company  has  been  operating  three  years,  with  a  cap- 
ital of  $165,000,  and  a  force  of  thirty  men.  The  value  of  the 
production  this  year  will  be  about  $26,500.  At  Lubec  a  new 
company,  recently  organized,  has  commenced  quarrying. 

ROOFING  SLATE. 

Roofing  slate  is  found  in  Maine  in  immense  quantities,  and  of  a 
superior  character  in  color,  grain  and  cleavage.  The  principal 
belt  extends  from  the  Kennebec  to  the  Penobscot  river,  a  distance 
of  eighty  miles  or  more.  Instances  are  shown  where  slate  has 
been  split  into  slabs  of  several  feet  square.  Most  of  it  is  of  such 
a  quality  and  formation  as  to  be  easily  made  into  tables,  black- 
boards, writing  slates  and  slate  pencils.  The  principal  quarries, 
as  our  returns  show,  are  at  present  located  in  Piscataquis  county, 
which  supply  an  immense  amount  of  roofing  slate  for  the  New 
England  market.  In  Scarborough,  we  hear  that  a  very  good  arti- 
cle of  roofing  slate  is  manufactured.  Some  of  the  Piscataquis 
quarrying  companies  marbleize  their  slates.  The  slate  industry 
is  increasing  in  magnitude  yearly.  A.  H.  Merrill,  one  of  the 


1873.]  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  XXXvii 

pioneers  in  the  manufacture  of  slate,  writes  this  department  as 
follows : 

WILLIAMSBURG,  MB.,  July  23,  1873. 
MR.  W.  E.  S.  WHITMAN, 

Industrial  Statistician  : 

DEAR  SIR: — I  own  and  operate  the  Glendour,  or  what  is  better  known  as  the  Merrill 
Slate  Quarry,  situated  in  Brownville,  Piscataquis  county,  Me.  Your  circular  for  the 
collection  of  statistical  details  was  duly  received  and  carefully  considered.  I  cannot 
furnish  in  detail  the  full  and  accurate  information  in  relation  to  my  quarry  that  you 
desire,  should  I  spend  more  time  in  the  effort  than  I  can  well  spare. 

The  manufacture  of  slate  of  Maine  is  of  slow  progress,  and  to  open  and  operate  a  slate 
quarry,  so  as  to  insure  permanent  and  profitable  results,  requires  quite  as  close  calculation 
and  as  much  capital  as  to  build  and  equip  a  first  class  cotton  factory.  I  find  that  haste 
must  be  made  slowly  in  learning  the  business,  or  we  are  liable  to  pay  high  for  our 
tuition.  In  1846,  operations  were  commenced  to  test  the  quality  and  extent  of  a 
slate  ledge  to  produce  roof  slate.  I  took  one-fourth  interest  in  the  enterprise.  In 
three  years  we  expended  $12,000  in  our  operations.  I  became  satisfied  with  the  quality 
and  extent  of  the  ledge,  and  paid  the  parties  interested  the  amount  they  had  expended 
in  the  operation,  and  became  the  sole  owner  of  105  acres  of  land  upon  which  the  opera- 
tions were  made.  A  gentleman  from  Wales,  brought  up  in  the  business,  then  made 
estimates,  which  looked  well  on  paper,  showing  that  $10,000  more,  judiciously  expended, 
would  do  certain  things  which  would  render  the  quarry  self-supporting.  He  expended 
$20,000  more  for  me,  when  I  found  that  $1,000  made  a  poor  show  at  producing  slate, 
unless  the  work  was  restricted  to  such  veins  and  such  parts  of  the  quarry  as  were  most 
favorable  for  producing  immediate  results.  In  that  case,  slate  could  be  put  into  the 
market  at  a  very  low  figure,  and  perhaps  the  quarry  sold  at  a  very  high  one  ;  but 
somebody  would  be  sure  to  get  hurt.  Making  the  slate  for  immediate  results  would 
insure  a  small  business  for  a  time,  and  then  final  abandonment  of  the  enterprise.  I  saw 
that  I  must  either  abandon  it  then,  or  close  up  all  other  business,  move  my  family  upon 
the  premises,  and  give  the  quarry  my  personal  attention  and  the  benefit  of  all  my 
means,  or  become  a  bankrupt. 

For  twenty-one  years  the  quarry  has  had  my  personal  attention,  and  I  have  irfvested 
in  it  to  an  amount  I  do  not  care  to  name.  To  insure  a  sufficient  supply  of  the  best 
quality  of  the  raw  material,  and  space  for  the  deposit  of  the  debris  (no  inconsiderable 
item),  I  have  enlarged  my  premises  to  1,500  acres,  upon  which  a  dozen  quarries  may  be 
opened,  each  worked  by  hundreds  of  men  for  hundreds  of  years.  Judging  from  the 
work  already  done,  and  the  amount  of  slate  obtained,  the  supply  is  inexhaustible.  The 
excavation  from  which  I  have  taken  slate  is  but  340  by  200  feet,  and  from  the  surface  \ 
to  the  greater  part  of  the  bottom  of  the  excavation  is  but  78  feet,  and  the  greatest 
depth,  that  from  which  I  am  now  taking  slate,  is  but  128  feet. 

The  slate  stands  well  in  the  market.  In  Piscataquis  county  are  large  deposits  of  the 
stone.  In  some  localities  it  is  eminently  fitted  for  planing.  I  see  nothing  but  the 
demand  that  can  ultimately  limit  the  supply  of  slate  in  Maine. 

Most  of  my  expenditures  thus  far  have  been  made  with  a  view  to  future  operations, 
not  expecting  to  realize  immediately  from  the  investment. 

For  eleven  years  I  made  from  5,000  to  6,000  squares  of  roof  slate  per  year,  which  sold 
for  satisfactory  prices.  Two  years  since  I  commenced  enlarging  the  capacity  of  my 
quarry  and  its  appurtenances  to  a  capacity  for  producing  30,000  squares  of  roof  slate  per 
annum,  I  hope  to  complete  the  work  next  year,  when  the  quarry  will  be  so  far 
developed  that  I  can  keep  each  man  employed  in  his  own  branch  of  the  business,  and 


XXXviii  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  [1873. 

not,  as  now,  be  obliged  to  put  the  men  in  one  branch  of  the  work  into  another,  some- 
times for  hours,  sometimes  for  days;  but  have  the  slate  makers  constantly  employed  in 
their  own  department,  and  S9  with  men  in  each  branch  of  the  business.  Then  an 
account  can  be  opened  with  each  branch  of  the  business  ;  and  then,  and  not  till  then, 
can  I  give  the  information,  in  detail,  which  individuals,  as  well  as  the  State,  are  calling 
for.  However  desirable  for  me  to  possess  correct  data  in  relation  to  each  branch  of  my 
business,  so  I  could  tell  at  a  glance  just  what  it  costs  to  remove  the  surface  earth  and 
stone,  just  what  for  removing  the  debris,  and  just  what  for  making  the  slate,  &c.,  I  did 
not  think  it  advisable  to  incur  the  expense  attending  it,  as  I  could  get  the  details  most 
important  for  me  to  have,  otherwise.  I  therefore  passed  all  expenditures  for  whatever 
pertains  to  the  quarry,  to  the  debit  side  of  the  quarry,  and  the  net  proceeds  of  its 
production  to  its  credit. 

I  know  of  no  business  open  to  enterprise  and  capital  in  Maine  more  promising  than 
the  manufacture  of  slate,  and  I  opine  the  day  is  not  far  distant  when  the  business  will 
be  in  the  hands  of  parties  that  can  open  up  quarries  to  a  capacity  for  producing  hun- 
dreds of  squares  of  slate  daily,  and  keep  their  quarries  in  a  condition  for  a  continuance 
of  such  production.  Then  slate  can  be  sold  so  low  as  to  defy  foreign  competition,  and 
satisfactory  dividends  be  made  on  the  capital  invested.  The  use  of  slate  must  be  greatly 
increased,  as  men  learn  that  they  can  cover  their  buildings  with  first  quality  of  Maine 
slate,  and  secure  lower  rates  of  insurance  against  fire,  for  less  than  it  will  cost  to  cover 
them  with  good  cedar  shingles.  Cheap  transportation  will  increase  the  demand  for  it. 
So  large  a  per  cent,  of  slate  sent  to  market  is  now  used  up  in  transportation,  that  it  is 
a  serious  drawback  to  the  business.  One  hundred  tons  (400  squares)  of  slate  are  now 
worth  $32  in  Boston,  and  it  costs  me  $7.20  to  get  them  there.  When  the  demand  for  slate 
is  increased,  so  as  to  hold  out  inducements  for  its  increased  production,  a  cheaper  mode 
of  conveyance  for  it  to  a  shipping  port  may  be  found. 

I  give  my  men  employment  the  year  round,.and  pay  them  $1.50  to  $2  per  day,  and 
employ  usually  80  men  all  told.     Motive  power,  steam.     Slate  out  by  machinery. 
Respectfully,  your  most  obedient  servant, 

ADAMS  H.  MERRILL. 


CAPITAL  IN  MANUFACTURES. 

The  returns  given  in  this  report  show  a  total  capital  of 
$39,123,547  invested  in  such  industrial  operations  as  are  pre- 
sented, with  the  exception  of  capital  employed  in  shipbuilding, 
granite,  marble  and  slate  quarrying,  ores  mined  and  the  fishery, 
which  would  swell  the  amount,  say,  as  follows : 

Shipbuilding $1,000,000 

Granite,  marble  and  slate  quarrying,  ores  mined . .       1,200,000 

Fishery 900,000 

Making  the  total  amount  of  capital  invested  in  such  industrial 
operations  as  have  been  compiled,  $42,223,547. 

The  total  amount  of  capital  employed  in  the  State  in  all  manu- 
facturing and  mechanical  industries,  with  such  data  as  we  have  to 
make  the  computation,  is  $48,808,448.  But  this  amount  must  fall

far  short  of  the  accurate  sum  that  is  employed.  Men  engaged  in 
business  are  so  loth  to  give  publicity  to  the  amount  of  capital  they 
have  invested,  or  when  disposed,  it  is  such  a  difficult,  and  in  many 
instances  almost  an  impossible  task  to  ascertain  the  amount,  on 
account  of  the  contrariety  of  opinion  as  to  what  constitutes  capital, 
that  it  may  be  set  down  as  useless  to  undertake  to  determine  the 
amount  of  capital  invested  with  any  degree  of  accuracy. 


WAGE-LABOKERS  AND  EARNINGS. 

The  returns  are  so  unsatisfactory  respecting  the  earnings  of 
wage-laborers  of  both  sexes,  and  the  time  they  are  employed,  and 
we  may  also  include  the  number  of  persons  employed,  that  it  has 
been  impossible  to  present  such  results  as  we  had  hoped.  In 
numerous  instances  the  returns  are  very  defective. 

The  total  number  of  persons  employed  as  wage-laborers  in  the 
2,361  mechanical  and  manufacturing  industries  of  the  State  of 
which  returns  are  presented,  is  44,659,  divided  as  follows  :  males, 
27,570;  females,  15,362;  children  under  fifteen  years  of  age, 
1,415.  Total  wages  received  for  the  year,  $13,888,022. 

The  total  number  of  mechanical  and  manufacturing  establish- 
ments in  the  State,  according  to  the  best  approximate  estimates 
we  can  make,  is  6,072  ;  hands  employed,  55,614,  divided  as  fol- 
lows ;  males,  37,154 :  females,  16,612  ;  children  under  fifteen  years 
of  age,  1,848.  Total  wages  received  for  the  year,  $16,584,164. 

In  the  following  table  a  few  of  the  leading  mechanical  and 
industrial  employments  have  been  selected,  in  order  to  represent, 
as  far  as  can  be  determined,  the  approximate  average  weekly 
earnings  of  wage-laborers,  together  with  the  days  of  labor  :

xl  STATISTICS  OP  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  [1873. 

According-  to  the  foregoing  estimate,  the  average  weekly  earn- 
ings of  males  are  $11.40  ;  females,  $6.31.  Average  annual  earn- 
ings, males,  $531.33  ;  females,  $312.29.  Average  days  of  labor, 
279.  In  the  estimate  of  earnings,  board  is  not  considered.  The 
average  annual  earnings  of  males  will  apply  to  those  skilled 
laborers  engaged  in  other  departments  of  labor  in  the  State  in 
proportion  to  the  period  of  labor,  but  the  average  earnings  of 
females  will  not  apply,  their  average  earnings  in  all  departments 
of  labor  in  which  they  are  employed  being  at  the  rate  of  about 
$214  a  year. 

We  have  not  found  as  many  children  engaged  in  the  various 
occupations  as  one  would  suppose,  from  information  that  has  been 
current,  the  percentage  of  such  labor  being  small.  A  considerable 
number  of  proprietors  of  small  establisments  do  their  own  work, 
while  in  numerous  instances  they  include  themselves  among  per- 
sons employed. 


STEAM  AND  WATE&  POWER. 

Mr.  Walter  Wells,  in  his  admirable  and  valuable  report  on  the 
water  power  of  Maine,  states  that  there  are  certainly  3,100  water 
powers  in  the  State,  probably  half  of  which  are  entirely  unused, 
amongst  which  is  the  greater  proportion  of  the  larger  powers. 
The  number  of  horse  powers,  gross,  according  to  Mr.  Wells,  is 
2,656,200,  "  equivalent  to  the  working  energy  of  over  34,000,000 
men,  laboring  without  intermission  from  year's  end  to  year's 
end." 

Returns  to  this  department  show  that  the  motive  power 
employed  in  industrial  operations  is  either  water  or  steam,  and 
sometimes  both,  and,  in  a  very  few  instances,  wind  power.  Our 
water  power,  however,  so  inexhaustible  in  quantity  and  so  avail- 
able for  manufacturing  purposes,  is  employed  to  this  extent,  so  far 
as  the  returns  show,  as  compared  with  steam :  water  power,  num- 
ber of  horse,  68,286  ;  steam  power,  9,422  horse.  The  gross  water 
power  in  use  in  the  whole  State  will  approximate  about  75,000 
horse  ;  total  steam  power  in  use,  about  10,000  horse.  This  indi- 
cates a  steady  increase  in  the  use  of  water  power,  which  possesses 
decided  advantages  over  steam  as  a  motive  power  in  this  State. 
If  the  water  power  now  running  to  waste  should  be  utilized,  it 
would  add  millions  to  our  population.  We  may  also  add,  that, 


1873.]  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  xli 

while  our  fresh  water  is  being  constantly  utilized,  our  tidal  water 
power  is  also  employed  to  a  greater  or  less  extent,  the  mean 
height  of  the  tide  on  the  coast,  from  low  to  high  water,  from  East- 
port  to  Saco,  being  11.6  feet.  This  kind  of  power  is  put  to  use  at 
a  small  expense. 


VALUE  OF  MANUFACTURED  PRODUCTS. 

The  returns  to  this  department  show  a  total  value  of  $69,813,- 
948  in  the  product  of  manufacturing  and  mechanical  industry  in 
319  cities,  towns  and  plantations  in  the  State,  representing  2,361 
different  industries,  exclusive  of  the  quarrying  of  granite,  marble 
and  slate,  ores  mined,  the  fisheries  and  our  shipbuilding  industry. 
Adding  to  this  amount — 

Total  value  of  tonnage  of  vessels  built  in  1873,  say $5,399,030 

Total  value  of  granite,  slate  and  marble  quarried,  ores 

mined,  say , 4,500,000 

Total  value  of  the  fishery  product,  say 850,000 

and  the  total  value  of  the  product  of  mechanical  and  manufactur- 
ing industry,  of  which  returns  are  presented,  will  amount  to 
$80,562,978. 

This  result  shows  a  handsome  increase  in  the  value  of  the  same 
products  in  1810.  There  has  been  an  increase  in  the  manufacture 
of  cotton  and  woolen  goods,  iron  manufacture,  agricultural  imple- 
ments, edge  tools,  boots  and  shoes,  amount  of  tonnage  built  in 
ship  yards,  granite,  slate  and  marbfe  quarried,  product  of  the 
fishery,  leather,  and  other  products  that  need  not  be  specified, 
including  the  products  of  numerous  industries  which  have  come 
into  existence. 

The  gross  value  of  the  product  for  1813,  of  all  the  manufactur- 
ing and  mechanical  industries  in  the  State,  is,  as  near  as  can  be 
approximated,  $96,209,136,  or  an  increase  of  21.02  per  cent,  over 
the  total  product  of  1870,  and  an  increase  of  151  per  cent,  over 
the  total  product  of  1860. 


SUMMARY. 

The  following  is  believed  to  be  as  complete  a  view  as  can  be 
obtained  of  the  mechanical  and  manufacturing  industry  of  the

AGRICULTURAL. 

The  limited  number  of  agricultural  returns  received  from 
assessors  makes  it  impossible  to  present  such  footings  and  com- 
parisons as  we  had  desired.  We  are  satisfied,  however,  that,  in 
taking  such  returns  received  as  a  basis,  there  has  been  an  increase 
of  agricultural  wealth  since  1870. 

Returns  have  been  received  from  seventy-four  towns  in  fifteen 
counties,  as  follows  :

York 4      " 

So  far  as  they  go,  the  returns  are  probably  as  accurate  as  can 
be  obtained.  Another  year,  it  is  hoped  the  number  of  returns 


1873.]  STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY. 

will  be  so  increased  that  the  agricultural  production  of  the  whole 
State  can  be  presented  with  instructive  comparisons  more  com- 
plete than  these  now  presented. 

According  to  the  United  States  census  report  of  1870,  the  total 
number  of  farms  in  Maine,  of  all  sizes,  was  59,804,  embracing  a 
total  acreage  of  5,838,058,  and  of  a  cash  value  of  $102,961,951. 

Our  estimate  for  the  present  year  shows  that  there  are,  say, 
61,000  farms,  of  an  acreage  of  5,954,811,  and  of  a  cash  value  of 
$105,021,000,  or  an  increase  of  more  than  two  per  cent,  in  value 
over  that  of  1870. 

While  there  is  every  prospect  that  Maine  is  to  become  a  manu- 
facturing State,  and  will  be  recognized  as  such,  there  is  also 
evidence  that  she  is  not  making  such  agricultural  progress,  or 
enjoying  such  agricultural  prosperity  as  she  should.  In  fruit 
growing  and  in  dairy  husbandry,  it  is  cheering  to  note  that  we 
are  taking  an  advance  step.  In  the  raising  of  potatoes  and  in  the 
production  of  hay,  Maine  is  ahead  of  other  States,  which  occupy  a 
higher  rank  agriculturally.  Still,  farming,  as  at  present  pursued, 
is  not  found  so  profitable  as  it  may  be  made,  notwithstanding 
Maine  has  a  fertile  soil  and  land  can  be  bought  cheap.  What  is 
needed  to  make  the  pursuit  of  agriculture  in  our  State  remunera- 
tive, is  intelligent  labor  and  an  improvement  of  the  methods  now 
employed. 

As  a  stock  breeding  State,  especially  in  horses  and  sheep,  Maine 
is  well  adapted.  The  breeding  of  horses  is  already  proving  a 
handsome  revenue.  There  is  a  growing  demand  for  our  various 
breeds  of  horses  for  gentlemen's  driving  purposes,  and  lucrative 
prices  are  paid  in  numerous  instances.  There  has  been  an  increase 
in  the  number  of  horses  bred  the  past  year,  and  several  horse 
breeding  establishments,  although  attended  with  considerable 
expense,  are  found  to  be  paying  investments.  There  are  probably 
more  stallions  for  stock  purposes  in  Maine  to-day  than  ever 
known  before,  the  number  being  estimated,  so  far  as  ascertained, 
at  over  three  hundred.  The  largest  number  of  horses  is  raised  in 
Penobscot  county.  The  largest  number  of  sheep  is  raised  in 
Somerset  county,  notwithstanding  we  have  no  returns  from  that 
county,  and  that  Piscataquis  makes  the  largest  exhibit  in  number 
and  value.  Knox  county,  according  to  the  returns,  produces  the 
largest  yield  of  wool,  as  well  as  the  largest  product  in  eggs,  four 
towns  making  the  returns,  their  total  exhibit  being  22,100  pounds 
of  wool,  valued  at  $7,700,  and  128,800  dozens  of  eggs,  valued  at 


STATISTICS  OF  MAINE  INDUSTRY.  [1873. 

$21,575.  Aroostook  leads  off  in  maple  sugar,  producing  11,025 
pounds,  valued  at  $1,128.  In  dairy  products,  Washington,  Penob- 
scot  and  Kennebec  take  the  lead,  according  to  the  returns. 

We  have  attempted  to  ascertain  the  number  of  domestic  cattle 
exported  from  the  State  the  present  year,  for  the  shambles  in 
Massachusetts,  and  as  near  as  they  can  be  estimated  the  total 
shipment  is  less  than  one  thousand,  a  large  falling  off  when  com- 
pared with  former  years.  We  have  not  been  able  to  ascertain  the 
number  of  sheep  sent  to  Massachusetts. 

In  agricultural  products,  Aroostook  county  raises  the  most 
wheat  and  oats,  while  Penobscot  takes  the  lead  in  potatoes,  as 
well  as  in  dairy  products. 

PRODUCT  AND  YALUE  OF  CROPS. 

In  fruit,  there  was  a  short  crop  of  apples,  about  half  that  of  last 
year.  Pears  light.  Grapes  about  an  average. 

The  following  is  an  estimate  of  the  total  product  of  the  principal 
crops  for  the  present  year,  as  compared  with  the  product  of  last 
year :

CHEESE  FACTORIES. 

The  introduction  of  associated  dairying  in  Maine  has  developed 
a  new  source  of  wealth  in  agricultural  progress.  It  is  estimated 
that  nearly  two  hundred  thousand  dollars  yearly  has  gone  out  of 
the  State  for  cheese  made  in  Vermont,  Massachusetts  and  New 
York,  until  its  manufacture  on  the  factory  system  in  Maine  was 
attempted.  The  close  of  the  present  season  shows  that  twenty- 
one  factories  had  been  in  successful  operation,  situated  in  nine 
different  counties,  the  largest  number  of  factories  being  in  Frank- 
lin county,  where  the  first  factory  was  started.  This  number  will 
be  increased  another  year.  The  factories  from  which  returns  have 
been  received  have  a  total  capital  of  $41,750  ;  pounds  of  cheese 
manufactured,  376,565  ;'  value  of  product,  $55,783  ;  males  em- 
ployed 35,  females  6,  total  41.  The  average  price  of  cheese  per 
pound  is  about  14  cents.  With  the  present  prospect,  it  will  not 
be  many  years  when  the  factory  system  will  entirely  supersede 
the  dairy  system,  and  our  cheese  factories  will  be  able  to  supply, 
not  only  the  demands  of  a  home  market,  but  will  compete  with  the 
product  of  other  States.  If,  in  the  infancy  of  the  factory  system, 
the  industry  proves  so  successful,  in  its  manhood  the  product 
must  be  excessive.

GRAND  SUMMARY. 

The  aggregate  value  of  all  mechanical  and  manufactured  pro- 
ducts for  the  year  1873,  together  with  the  total  value  of  all 
agricultural  productions,  may  be  summed  up  as  follows : 

Value  of  manufactured  products $96,209,136 

"  principal  agricultural  products 29,411,550

WEALTH  AND  TAXATION. 

The  fiscal  returns  of  assessors,  relating  to  valuation,  taxation 
and  appropriations  in  cities  and  towns,  are  so  limited  in  number, 
as  well  as  so  incomplete,  that  such  footings  cannot  be  presented 
as  is  hoped  will  be  given  another  year,  with  fuller  and  more  satis- 
factory results.  Moreover,  the  ununiform  basis  of  valuation 
adopted  by  assessors  has  made  it  exceedingly  difficult  to  deter- 
mine other  than  approximate  results. 

Blanks  were  sent  to  assessors  in  which  returns  were  to  be  made 
of  the  number  of  polls,  valuation  of  real  and  personal  estate, 
amount  of  taxes,  rate  per  cent,  of  taxation,  percentage  of  property 
on  which  valuation  was  based,  and  appropriations  for  manufac- 
tures, railroads,  support  of  common  schools,  free  high  schools, 
roads  and  bridges,  support  of  poor,  and  for  other  purposes.  As 
the  result,  returns  have  been  received  from  one  hundred  and  nine- 
four  towns,  by  counties,  as  follows  :

The  total  wealth  of  the  State  of  real  and  personal  property  for 
the  year  1873,  valued  on  a  true  cash  basis,  is  $242,808,688,  an 
increase  of  $17,985,828  since  1870.  There  has  been  an  increase 
in  personal  valuation  probably  on  account  of  the  establishment  of 
new  manufacturing  enterprises,  as  well  as  an  increase  in  the  value 
of  real  estate ;  but  the  percentage  of  appreciation  is  smaller  than 
that  of  a  triennial  exhibit  previous  to  1870,  occasioned  mainly  by 
a  shrinkage  in  values  during  the  present  year.  The  increase  made 
in  taxable  values  is  due  mostly,  if  not  entirely,  to  our  agricultural 
thrift  and  manufacturing  prosperity. 

It  will  be  interesting  to  tax-payers  to  know  that  there  is  a  decline 
in  the  rate  of  taxation,  as  will  be  seen  by  the  following  exhibit :

The  foregoing  tables  embrace  fifty-seven  cities  and  towns.  It 
will  be  found  that  in  the  larger  number  there  has  been  a  decrease 
in  the  tax  levy,  as  compared  with  that  of  1870.  In  twenty-one 
towns  there  has  been  a  slight  advance,  probably  due  to  an  augmen- 
tation of  town  debt.  In  one  city  and  five  towns  the  rate  is  un- 
changed. The  tendency  of  towns  to  a  lower  rate  of  taxation  will 
undoubtedly  apply  to  the  whole  State.  The  average  percentage 
of  taxation  in  towns  and  cities  heard  from  is  .024,  against  .027  in 
1870,  a  reduction  of  .003.

In  our  remarks  on  Shipbuilding,  ( page  xxix,)  we  find  that  while  there  has  been  a 
surprising  revival  of  this  industrial  interest,  we  have  been  misled  in  making  the 
statement  that  the  total  amount  of  tonnage  built  in  1873,  is  "  a  larger  amount  of 
tonnage  than  was  ever  built  in  any  one  year."  In  the  absence  of  official  infor- 
mation to  the  contrary  this  statement  was  made.  It  now  appears  that  the  most 
prosperous  year  Maine  ever  enjoyed  in  shipbuilding  was  in  1855,  when  the  total 
amount  of  tonnage  built  was,  as  we  are  advised,  215,964.73-95,  old  measurement; 
in  1856,  149,907  tons,  old  measurement;  in  1857,  110,933  tons,  old  measurement.
